Bucket List Board Gamers

In our debut episode we kick off with the quintessential introductory game of Carcassonne!

Kick back, relax, lay your tiles, place your Meeples and just have a bloody good time in general! We also discuss the numerous expansions and reimplementations, and talk about other similar suitable 'introductory' games for those keen to get into the hobby or wanting to introduce friends.

Oh and there's even a train whistle, so keep an ear out for that!

The audio isn't the best in places but this is something we're working on (recording 4 people at once is certainly a learning curve!) so if you made it to the end thanks for sticking with us!

Enjoy!

Now the dust has settled, the pieces have been packed away and most importantly everyone had a chance to look at their purchases, the Bucket List Board Gamers talk about their experience at UKGE!

On this episode Jay, Drew, Nick and Craig discuss the event and the games they enjoyed playing, including Lorcana, Rome in a Day, Meteor Heroes, Blood on the Clocktower and Thunder Road: Vendetta.

Braid up your beard, climb aboard your Longship and set sail for Valhalla with us, as this episode we discuss A Feast for Odin!

A Feast for Odin is a points driven, worker placement romp through the life and times of a Norman tribe, these days more commonly known as Vikings!

With multiple routes to victory, will you end up with a cornucopia of resources at your disposal or will your best laid plans lead to a disaster tantamount to Ragnarok?

It seems like Loki may have been tinkering with some of our audio equipment, so apologies for the odd bit of distortion (and some distinctly ovine background noise in parts!)

In this episode of the Bucket List Board Gamers we implore you to grab some meat, toast, potions, leaves, gems and most importantly anvils, and join us as we discuss Flamecraft from Cardboard Alchemy and Lucky Duck.

Designed by Manny Vega and beautifully illustrated by Sandra Tang, Flamecraft sees the players vying to collect the most points as they travel around a small hamlet of shops occupied by various friendly artisan dragons.

Is there enough gameplay behind the delightful illustrations to make this one a valuable addition to anyone's collection? Listen in and find out!

Note: This was one of the first episodes we recorded, and as such the levels are a bit off, so apologies for that! We're working to get everyone's audio as crisp as possible so please bare with us!

In this episode we're taking a trip to rural France once more as we look at 2011's Castles of Burgundy! Designed by Stefan Feld and illustrated by Julien Delval and Harald Lieske, there is much debate as to how this one looks versus how it plays!

Quite coincidentally we're releasing this just as backers have started to receive their new and improved Kickstarter versions of the game, so if you've heard of the name but don't quite know what it's about, allow us to fill you in!

Unfortunately for Luke, we don't have a B*$t@rd quota, so expect a few bleeps toward the end of the episode!
