🫖 Tea Time

On a whim I picked up Dorf Romantik: Light Luggage whilst

I love the video game but always thought the big box version was a bit too big for a gentle game about villages.

This 'travel' version from seems to have hit the sweet spot.

Small enough to hide amongst the collection but deep enough to offer some morning puzzling with a cup of tea and there's some surprises in the box too!!

👀 Had such a great time at Salute 53 today. It's the UK's best miniature wargames convention by far, with so much to see from indie creators to the biggest publishers.

Currently on the train back home with a bag full of swag and a big grin on my face. See you at 54! ✌️

We take a (sometimes one-eyed) look at two weird (outsider art?) horror-adjacent video games from Critical Reflex on this episode, Mouthwashing from Wrong Organ and Arctic Eggs from The Water Museum, cockydoody, abmarnie, and Cameron Ginex. Then on the AAA side of the scale is the ridiculously slick open world assassin adventure Ghost of Yōtei from Sucker Punch. Meanwhile, on a more family-friendly board game theme, we think about how best to introduce board game mechanics to much younger minds while reviewing Minecraft Builder & Biomes Junior from Ravensburgerr.

All that, and confessing to a terrible lie, on Ep240. Available RIGHT NOW (!!!) on your favourite podcast player.

We take a deeper look at two extraordinary Machinegames titles, the adventure straight from the silver screen Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Wolfenstein: The New Order, which features simply some of the best writing in video games.

We also turn to two puzzle platformers, the classic time-bending of Number None’s Braid, and the co-op joy of LEGO Voyagers from Light Brick Studio, the only game that feels like playing with plastic bricks.

Over on the tabletop there’s a good amount of time spent on the bright and punchy Tag Team from Scorpion masqué and I-cut-you-choose cosy set collection of Agent Avenue by NerdLab.

All that, and trending shakers, on Ep239.
