    Bigger, Better and Begging for More! UKGE 2025 Wrap Up!
    2025/06/17

    In what felt like the blink of an eye, UKGE 2025 is in the history books!

    It's been a few weeks since the doors closed on the UK's biggest Tabletop Gaming Expo, but we're here to talk about what we loved, what we didn't love quite so much and what we're looking forward to in 2026!

    Craig heads up the discussion with Kay and Drew, and having recovered from a particularly nasty case of UKGE-Flu, Jay speaks to Leon from Questiny Games about their experience too!

    It's a packed one!

    By the way, the Chip Theory game Jay couldn't remember the name of was Wroth, and you can find it here: https://chiptheorygames.com/products/wroth-base-game

  • Order Up! We Talk About Food Truck Race with Creator Gregory Alford!

    Order Up! We Talk About Food Truck Race with Creator Gregory Alford!
    2025/05/20

    Yes it's convention season, but we've still had chance to record a few 'non-convention' episodes, and here's one of them!

    Jay sat down to talk with Gregory Alford about his upcoming game 'Food Truck Race', as well as the trials and tribulations of launching a game when there are global tariffs changing by the day!

    Described as 'Overcooked meets Catan', Food Truck Race pits vendors against each other to run the most successful outlet in town, all while managing the trials and tribulations that real chefs face!

    Enjoy!

    *Important Information*

    You can find (and back until the 29th May!) the Kickstarter for Food Truck Race here!

  • No Jobbers Here - Just Champions! We talk to Alex about Wrestling Game Get Over!

    No Jobbers Here - Just Champions! We talk to Alex about Wrestling Game Get Over!
    2025/04/27

    Have you ever been playing a board game and suddenly thought 'Man, I'd love to lay the SmackDown on this Jabroni on the other side of the table'?

    (What?)

    Well, here's your perfect opportunity!

    (What?)

    'Get Over' is as close to lacing up your boots, throwing on a pair of trunks and dishing out Stunners, Tombstones and People's Elbows as you're likely to get (without risking serious injury and almost certain humiliation, at least.)

    (What?)

    We speak to the game's creator Alex, and he tells us where the idea came from, why it's so important to him, which wrestlers he'd like to have dinner with and much more!

    (What?)

    This episode is a love letter to WWE, and as such there may be points where non-grappling fans wonder what the hell is going on, but hopefully everyone enjoys it regardless!

    (What?)

    And that's the bottom line... because The Bucket List Board Gamers said so!

    **Important Information**

    As of this episode's release the Get Over Kickstarter is LIVE and we'd encourage you to check it out!

    You can find it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/getover/get-over

  • Spinning the Spokes - We Discuss AI in Gaming with Mark Stockton- Pitt!

    Spinning the Spokes - We Discuss AI in Gaming with Mark Stockton- Pitt!
    2025/02/22

    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!

    Aire We Go Yet Again! Airecon X Preview with Founder Mark Cooke!
    2025/02/09

    It's time for us to talk Airecon again, and for the second year running we've managed to secure the services of the legendary Mark Cooke to tell us all about AIRECON X

    We find out what's staying the same, what's changing, what huge events and guests will be appearing and, as always, whether we'll still be able to get some delicious poutine and hand made pizzas.

    It's the TENTH Airecon event and as you can see by our title card, the theme this year is SPARKLY!

    Sparkly logo, sparkly mugs, sparkly t-shirts (which you can pre-order over on the Airecon website right now, by the way!) but that same friendly, welcoming, focus-on-gaming atmosphere we all know and love!

    Airecon X takes place on 13th to the 16th March in Harrogate. Head over to the Airecon website now to book your tickets before it's too late!

    Not Your Average Lending Library! - We Talk to Mill from Dissent Games
    2025/01/24

    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!

    All the important links that are mentioned in the episode are below, and tickets are now 100% on sale for Paradice.
