Board Game BBQEpisode Description
Episode 173: Special Guest - Tom Vasel! Plus Horrified, Black Sonata, Ark Nova, and Bristol 1350 Nova
On this special episode Steve, Mike and Dan are joined by the man in the hat, Tom Vasel. He shares some stories from his early days of reviewing games, his experiences from the other side of the industry, and he answers an assortment of questions from our Patreons.
In our Sizzling Games segment Steve revisits the horrors of Horrified, Dan has been on the search for the Dark Lady in Black Sonata, Tom is still raving about the incredible Ark Nova, and Mike has been dodging the plague in Bristol 1350.
We launch the next match-up in the Bracket Battle 2.0: Teotihuacan vs Everdell. It's Steve vs Mike and they plead their case as to why their game is better (and Tom and Dan pile on as well!). To make sure your favourite goes through to the next round make sure you vote on our socials.
Finally in Swear an Oath, Steve is continuing to play every game in his collection, Mike has been playing Mystic Vale and is already intent on getting the expansion, and Dan played MicroMacro with his family of budding detectives. New oaths include a game of Teotihuacan with 5 expansions (Steve), The Prodigals (Mike), Radlands (Dan), and even Tom gets in on the Oath-swearing action.
