Send us a text This month, we've opened a channel to the most recent entry into the Trek boardgame subgenre. As always we discuss rules, mechanics and just how much of a mind melting experience this complex beast is. Not one for the faint of heart / brain, but most importantly...is it any good? Answers within. Make It So! Support the show Find us on Social Media Facebook Twitter Instagram
Send us a text Get off my land! Just kidding, you are most welcome to join us as we take a deep dive into the Co-op mega hit, Spirit Island. We discuss complexity, difficulty, how utterly ineffective Al is at it but most importantly, how it works as a two player experience. We hope you enjoy!

Send us a text It's an IP double whammy this month as we take a quick look at the Ravensburger published co-op, Back to the Future: Dice Through Time. Although, we do wish we could borrow the Delorean to get that time back. Why you ask? Answers within! Support the show Find us on Social Media Facebook Twitter Instagram
Send us a text Thanks for joining us as we head back to IP land and assess The Witcher: Old World. Can Hannah focus enough on it to win when there's so much SIDE CONTENT? Is there Gwent? What expansion features the sex cards? And most importantly is it functional as a 2 player experience? All these questions answered - and more, within. We hope you enjoy!

Send us a text Hello There! In this month's episode we tackle a classic, in the form of Ticket to Ride: Europe. The blockbuster monolith of modern boardgaming where players compete to build railways across Europe. We assess the core gameplay, judge how it stacks up with other classics, and most importantly assess how it works as a 2 player experience. We hope you enjoy!

Send us a text Hello there! In this month's episode we appraise the 2 player tile-laying, island hopping, temple excavating duel that is Akrotiri. A bit of a hidden gem this one, so if any of those things appeal and you've never encountered it, hopefully this clues you in to what might be a new favourite. We hope you enjoy!

Send us a text In this edition of Bite Size, we take a look at the card drafting / pass your hand madcap experience that is Cryptozoology for beginners.

Send us a text Boarding passes please! Thanks for joining us for this month's episode as we do a deep dive into the 2 player co-op smash hit Sky Team.

Send us a text In this edition of Board With Each Other Bitesize we appraise the re-imagining of the sleeper indie hit Monopoly into the fast paced set collection card game that is Monopoly Deal. Is it worth your time despite it's shared moniker? Is Monopoly unfairly maligned? How many house rules can you add to this one? All these questions answered and more within the episode!

Send us a text Thanks for joining us for this month's episode! In this edition of Board With Each Other we assess the laudable / insane attempt to translate the behemoth that is Twilight Imperium into a tighter, more approachable roll and write experience. But does the attempt work or was it pure folly? We answer the question as well as picking out how well it works as a two player experience.

Send us a text Oh my, it's a biggie! Thank you for joining us as we tackle the official 'Best Boardgame in the World' (according to Boardgame Geek at least), the dense and delightful Brass: Birmingham. As always, we assess the game on its general merits, answer the question of how well Brass: Birmingham works as a two player game and try and answer the question 'is it overrated?'. We hope you enjoy! Support the show Find us on Social Media Facebook Twitter Instagram
Send us a text In this episode of bite size, we delve into expansions for the first time, namely the first two for Dune: Imperium - The Rise of Ix and Immortality. We discuss how they alter the game, what they bring to the table in terms of content and most importantly, how essential are they to the Dune: Imperium experience. We hope you enjoy, and please do check out our full review of the base game back on Episode 9! Support the show Find us on Social Media Facebook Twitter Instagram
Send us a text Thanks for joining us for this month's episode! We go a bit more niche again this time as we appraise the duel of architects that is the tile laying / worker placement hybrid Basilica (the 2022 reissue to be precise). We examine the components, shelf life and fun factor, highlight the impressive meanness to be found here, and assess its place in the pantheon of 2 player duel games.

Send us a text Thanks for joining us for another episode! In this edition of Board With Each Other, we cast our critical eye over Quacks of Quedlingberg (The Mega Box to be precise), a push your luck bag builder where you use a variety of outlandish ingredients to create the best potion. As usual, we look at how well it works as a two player game, assess the mega box edition as a package and bemoan Al's cursed level of luck. We hope you enjoy!

Send us a text Welcome to the second episode of Board with Each Other Bite Size! In this spin off series, we have a quick chat about smaller (but no less mighty) games or expansions that we feel deserve a review, but don't really justify one of our monthly deep dives. We don't go through our full scoring criteria, but instead chat about the game and give a neat overall score at the end. In this episode, we chat about the modern classic party game, Sushi Go and discuss if it can work as...
Send us a text On this month's episode Hannah crosses off a life goal as she gets to talk about one of her favourite movie franchises and people have to listen. Well, you don't - but we're thankful you do! As an side to the main content of the episode we apply our usual take to the tie in board game, Highway Heist. Is this a case of IP plastered shovel ware or is there a decent game going on here? And how does it play at 2 players? All these questions will be answered, possibly with Fast and ...
Send us a text Welcome to Board with Each Other Bite Size! It's an exciting new show (Well, not really NEW) but what's wrong with a bit of hype? In this spin off series, we have a quick chat about smaller (but no less mighty) games or expansions that we feel deserve a review, but don't really justify one of our monthly deep dives.

Send us a text Hi Everyone, thanks for joining us for this month's episode! In this edition of the podcast, we discuss not one game, but several, as we tackle the system of modular sets that is Unmatched which tries to answer age old questions such as, could Alice from Wonderland beat up Dracula or could Shakespeare kill a T-rex with poetry? While we may not get definitive answers to these, we can tell you whether we think the game system is any good as as always we assess how it plays as a...
