Board Game Podcast hosted by the Sheffield Board Games Club members.  Rick and Tom C are joined by Tom Lovewell from Redwell Games and we discuss his new game Six Gun Showdown.  We review Yamatai and Spectaculum, talk about our UK Games Expo experiences, and Evan tells us about Steamrollers.  We also discuss rules mistakes and rule books in general.

I've had a quick listen, sounding good so far! I shall have a full listen at some point
Would definitely be up for in being involved in later episodes too (been quite busy/otherwise occupied recently or I've have stuck my hand up earlier!)

As some of you may know, we have produced a few episodes now and we want to include club members as much as possible. Some members have been very kindly saying a few short words at the club, about what games they have been playing and this has been included in the podcast.

We would like to expand this and maybe record a longer interview, but away from a club evening (although these short segments recorded at the club will also continue). If anyone wants to come on the podcast and talk games, we can arrange it. Tell us about your favourite game, your Kickstarters, your collections or just what you've been playing recently. You don't need to have any recording equipment, I have a portable recorder. You don't need to commit any more time and I'm thinking of keeping the segments quite short, just 5 or 10 minutes.

If anyone is interested, send me a message! Thanks!

Episode 4 available for download now.

This month Tom C, Rick and Samuel discuss the games Unlock Heroic Adventures, Call to Adventure, the Kingdomino expansion Age of Giants, River Dragons, Junk Art and Bandu.  We hear from Alex at Castle Gaming in Stocksbridge and our question of the week, suggested by Paul C is how do you deal with alpha gamers in co-operative games?

Thanks Dave! I've tried to make it available on all the popular platforms, it's on Stitcher, Itunes, Spotify, Google, etc. If there's any I've missed let me know.

I use Pocketcasts as it's multiplatform and works well according to my tastes - but the search tool it has can't find it (although its supposed to include all itunes ones at least). At least it accespted a direct feed URL once I found how to format it correctly

If anyone else is having similar difficulties, the URL I used is: https://sheffieldboardgamers.podbean.com/feed

Hi Rik

Suggestion - Would it be worth posting the question of the podcast ahead of time and inviting responses from the club to be included in the podcast where said question is debated?
