Show Notes
Episode 371 — The Board Game BBQ Podcast Hold onto your meeples, because the Board Game BBQ Podcast crew is back together — Sarah's returning to the table after a couple of years away, and we are thrilled to have her back! This week, Joe, Jules and Sarah reunite for a proper catch-up on what's been hitting the table. Joe's been riding the rails with Railway Boom and testing his partner's trick taking limits with Rebel Princess. Jules has had a packed sesh with Woo, the heist-cracking Burncycle, and the aptly-named Some Assembly Required. And Sarah marks her comeback in style, diving into the chaotic sprint of Magical Athlete and the genteel card-table drama of A Very Civil Whist.
The crew also tackle this week's question of the pod: "Is Your Board Game Collection Growing or Shrinking, and Why?"
All that and more on this week's episode of the Board Game BBQ Podcast!
