Hot hogs! Hot Hogs! HOT HOGS! I have to come clean with you - this die jest features hot hogs. Admittedly, I am writing this description just to see how many times I can get away with HOT HOGS! So far it's five times, but I think I can maybe cram in a sixth. Hot hogs.

Just for reference, the population of Klaipėda, the third largest city in Lithuania is approximately 161 000 people. The number of attendees in this year's Spiel Essen was 220 000 people, meaning they managed to cram the entirey of Klaipėda and much more into just eight convention halls and every one of those people were buying board games. I appreciate that that is maybe not everybody's jam, and aspects of it are not our jam either. But getting our mitts into a jar of Bonne Maman filled with gooey new board game releases - put a bib on me and fire up the toaster! In this special joint episode of No Pun Included and Talk Cardboard we cover 16 new releases from Spiel Essen 2025, which you can either listen to here or partake in the video version https://youtu.be/NHVLn-ZxVWs SHIRTS!
