Do we need a Metacritic for board game reviews? We discuss on this week’s Dicebreaker Podcast!
And choose our favourite meeple shapes.
On this week’s Dicebreaker Podcast, Matt, Lolies and Meehan clamber back inside the pod cockpit to jet through another week’s worth of stories and questions.
Lolies discusses her return to Star Realms, Meehan roots, loots and shoots in Colt Express, and everyone reflects on our time exploring the galaxy of sci-fi RPG Burn Bryte.
We also catch up with the latest on the new games from the creators of Pandemic, Exploding Kittens and Arkham Horror, consider the potential of a Metacritic for board games, and celebrate even more disability representation in Dungeons & Dragons.
Then it’s time to answer your questions on oversized boxes, obscure games, the best meeple shapes and the best - and worst - trends on the tabletop.
