    Jul 21 2024

    Why not buy a board game from our sponsors Kienda: kienda.co.uk/polyhedroncollider

    Warning: This podcast contains strong language and adult content

    No, it’s not a Bisto advert, it’s Rory and Steve’s gushing review of Yonder from Sinister Fish[/company], their latest worker placement boardgame from Villagers and Moon designer Haakon Gaarder - which is currently live on Kickstarter and absolutely worth your time checking out.

    We then get all Lovecraftian with a lively discussion about Cthulhu Death May Die from CMON (and provided by show sponsor Kienda), its similarities to Mansions of Madness and whether both, or either are any good - are you Team Sid, or Team Rory?

    We then move to the other end of tabletop gaming as we explore the bonkers, pulpy Achtung! Cthulhu 2D20 Starter Set from Modiphius.

  • Episode 147 - Carpe Diem, Salton Sean, and Sea, Salt & Paper
    May 12 2024

    Why not buy a board game from our sponsors Kienda: kienda.co.uk/polyhedroncollider

    Warning: This podcast contains strong language and adult content

    The boys from the Collider waste little time in the latest episode of the Collider Cast and get straight to business discussing the clever but hideously ugly Carpe Diem by Stefan Feld on which both Andy and Rory agree upon, for a change. Steve talks us through the deeply satisfying, if not mentally taxing and beautifully pastel Salton Sea from Devir Games. Sid and Rory chime in with their two cents of their experience of that and Sea, Salt and Paper that they'd enjoyed on a work day bunk at the Games Den.

    The episode wraps with some burning questions from the bag bag, such as Bacon of Sausage Sarnie.

    Games Mentioned

    00:04:12 Carpe Diem
    00:19:20 Salton Sea
    00:46:32 Sea Salt & Paper
    00:58:36 Questions

  • Episode 146 - BGG Top 100, Apiary, and The Vale of Eternity
    Apr 21 2024

    Warning: This podcast contains strong language and adult content

    We are over a quarter of the way through the year, so that means Rory and Steve, are a quarter of the way through their BGG Top 100 challenge, so we look back at the current highlights and lowlights and of course talk about some of the best board games currently playable.

    But its not all about looking back as we go into detail about card drafting game Vale of Eternity, a game that’s much deeper than it looks, and Apiary, a Euro-style game themed around bees in space. We then dip into the mailbag for chat about the themes we are fed up of.

  • Episode 145 - Airecon, Heat, Faraway, and Sidequest Nemesis
    Mar 31 2024

    Warning: This podcast contains strong language and adult content

    Join the PhC boys for Episode 145 as Andy discovers his lucky totem that allows him to make it to and from Airecon without his car breaking down. Steve accedentally creates what is sure to be the best fabric softener in the history of fabric softners. Sid invents a new word #Begrumble, and Rory awards himself the board game equivalent of the Victoria Cross for playing his least favourite game on the BGG Top 100.

    They also discuss the highlights and the further highlights of Airecon, which unsurprisingly consists of food, beer, and board games (in that order), including: a chaotic and hilarious game of Heat from Days of Wonder, the light and delightful "revesres action-programming" Faraway from Catch Up Games/Hachette, and challenging, almost dinner-reservation-missing, Side Quest Nemesis from Board & Dice.

    A quick dip into the mail bag reveals thier most hated "popular" game and an announcement that if you are not already following Polyhedron Collider onInstagram, now might be a good time to do so as there is an upcoming competion supported by show sponsor Kienda!

    Games Mentioned

    00:10:22 Heat: Pedal to the Metal
