The Bucket List Series - More Entry Level Games with Dan, Matt & Craig
Bucket List Board Gamers
10/20/24 • 33 min
The second in our flagship 'Bucket List' Series, this episode Craig, Dan and Matt pitch some more Entry Level or 'Beginner' games that they think are best placed to entice people into the hobby of board gaming, with Luke acting as judge and jury (but hopefully not executioner!)
Whether it be alluring visuals, tasty tactility or an effortless teach, at least three more games will take their place on the Bucket List Board Gamers Bucket List of Board Games!
With the thousands upon thousands of board games out there, there's no way our panellists will pick the same one, surely?
Thank you as always to our lovely Patreons!

Aire We Go Again! - Chatting Airecon '24 with Founder Mark Cooke & Rodney from Watch It Played
Bucket List Board Gamers
02/18/24 • 49 min
Quite the episode title, huh?
Yes, with AireCon Prime under a month away, we're talking about our favourite board gaming convention again! And this time we have the perfect people to shed some light on what this year's AC Prime will have in store; namely Mr. AireCon himself Mark Cooke, and perennial AireCon attendee and board gaming royalty Rodney Smith of Watch It Played.
We find out what's staying the same, what's changing, exactly where Kay will be on the 15th to the 17th of March, and some might say most importantly, whether we'll still be able to get some delicious poutine and hand made pizzas.
It wouldn't be Bucket List episode without there being some technical difficulties though, and this time we have a real cracker as one member of the team gets unceremoniously dumped into the ether just 5 minutes in. Who? You'll have to listen to find out!
If you're interested in attending Airecon Prime 2024, you can find all the details over on the Airecon website, including how to purchase tickets!

Bucket List Board Gamers
01/24/25 • 38 min
A belated Happy New Year to everyone!
We're back, and we're kicking off 2025 with an interview, having been joined by the lovely Mill from Dissent Games! We actually recorded this episode back in September of 2024, but we've been waiting for the right time to share it with you... and that time is now!
We discuss the representation of women in Board Games, Library Labyrinth, the upcoming Loose in the Library, The Paradice Board Gaming Convention and loads more!
We've not quite worked out why it sounds like Kay is playing a tambourine when she's talking sometimes, but hopefully it isn't too distracting!
Enjoy!

Draw, Draw & Draw Some More! Interview with Gerardo Priore from Beyond Words Games
Bucket List Board Gamers
11/20/24 • 38 min
Yes we're back with another interview episode, and this time we're talking to Gerardo from Beyond Words Games about his induction title... The Strange Forgeries Of Mr. S.C.Rheber!
We discuss the game, the inspiration, the origins of induction games, and quite pertinently, the role that reviewers and influencers play in the launch of a board game.
Apologies for the sound quality in places, we've tried to clean it up as best we can but the connection wasn't fantastic.
Enjoy!

The BGG Forum Post
You may well be familiar with Gerardo's name / Beyond Words Games thanks to a recent forum post on Board Game Geek, which we tried not to discuss too much in the episode for a couple of reasons. Firstly we were keen to keep the episode focused on The Strange Forgeries Of Mr. S.C.Rheber, and secondly it was, at the time, still a developing situation where some parties had not been given a full chance to reply.
As such some parts have been cut down to avoid confusion, and as a result it does sound like Jay talks a lot when the subject arises. Jay is aware he talks too much in general, but this time it wasn't his fault!
The situation has since been resolved, and we have discussed with Gerardo the possibility of a second episode to set things straight and talk about things from start to finish.

The Dragon is Defeated! Now it's Time to Split the Hoard! - Interview with Marc Kenobi
Bucket List Board Gamers
09/24/24 • 40 min
The Dragon has been slain, and underneath its lifeless corpse lies a mountain of riches the likes of which you have never seen.
You shoot a glance to the other members of your party, each person covetously scanning the pile of goodies with envious eyes... then you dive in to claim what is yours!
Split the Hoard is a game that plays out in those moments immediately after victory, where everyone in the party wants to fill up their swag bag with the items best suited to them; be it potions, equipment, straight up gold, or something else completely.
We talked to game creator Marc Kenobi about Split the Hoard, where the idea came from, how he got into board gaming and what might be next!
**Important Information**
You can back Split the Hoard on Kickstarter NOW (and until the 24th October) by following this link:

Spinning the Spokes - We Discuss AI in Gaming with Mark Stockton- Pitt!
Bucket List Board Gamers
02/22/25 • 45 min
AI Art. A controversial subject in any walk of life, but especially relevant in the Board Gaming industry at the moment, as the debate rages on over whether it should be OK to release a game using art generated by AI.
We chat to Mark Stockton-Pitt of Radical 8 Games, who was recently accused of using AI art when every single piece of artwork in Spokes, is original and by an established board gaming artist.
In a cruel twist of fate, some of Nick's audio went haywire, so we had to use an AI Voice generator to fill in the gaps, so be ready for that!
Enjoy!
**USEFUL INFORMATION**
You can back Spokes NOW over on Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/radical8games/spokes and until the 17th March!
