It’s Friday the 13th! Well, it was when we recorded the latest Dicebreaker Podcast, at least!

To mark the occasion, Matt, Liv and Meehan throw our favourite survivors from horror board games into a classic slasher movie. Would Camp Grizzly’s Tracy outlive Lily Chen from Arkham Horror? Is a dog, lion or bear better to have as a faithful companion? Why is the patient from Operation here?! All these questions will be answered - eventually!

We also get the latest on what the team have been playing, from new releases Descent: Legends of the Dark and Avatar Legends RPG to the Jaws board game and Disney Villainous, before we look ahead to some exciting upcoming games and consider the most important debate in board games: do you stack boxes upright or sideways?
