In this week's episode, Joe, Jules and Lauren share what has been hitting their tables. Jules is back after a break and is still riding the high from Gen Con (in more ways than one). Joe has been playing a game with a grandma featuring a bazooka from the one and only Dr. Lauren has been frantically drawing things terribly. There's also the Question of the Pod and a brand new segment which includes exonerating hosts from some unfulfilled oaths, and instead pumping each other up with what has them fired up! New Question of the Pod: What's got you fired up? Timestamps: Pictomania [29:05] Escalation! [35:40] Things in Rings [39:45] Question of the Pod Recap: [0:52:45] What has us fired up?

| Episode 307: The Arcs Super-Sizzle | 20 Aug 2024 | 01:22:55 | |
In this bitter-sweet episode Def is hyped up to sizzle the space opera that is Arcs. It is also his final sizzle as he announces that he is leaving the podcast. So in honour of Def's departure, some of the original BBQ crew return to say goodbye. Def has been such an integral part of the podcast since its inception over four years ago, and his insightful musings about this hobby will be sorely missed. Best of luck, Def. We love you, mate.

| Episode 298 – Rebirth, Pendragon, Mythic Mischief | 18 Jun 2024 | 01:33:18 | |
Conor, Def, and Joe jostle jovially about their latest gaming escapades. First up, Joe regales us with his rendezvous in the realm of Rebirth, Reiner Knizia’s latest offering which is still taking late pledges on Kickstarter. Def delves into the daring deeds of Pendragon, brace yourselves for battles, betrayals, and bountiful banter as he recounts his quest for the coveted crown, and Conor casts his comedic contortions on Mythic Mischief, a game that is very chess like, or is it cheff like? So, settle in, my merry gamers, and let the playful puns flow freely! It's sure to be another rollicking romp through the realm of tabletop tomfoolery. All that, plus the Question of the Pod, Swear An Oath, and the usual shenanigans you've come to expect from the Board Game BBQ.
We also recap last week's Question of the Pod: What’s your favourite convention game? Thanks to everyone who contributed and shared their experiences with us on Discord and the Facebook Community.
And as always, we Swear an Oath.

| Episode 179: Special Guest: Bobby Hill. Plus Bitoku, Meeples & Monsters, So Clover, Jabba’s Palace | 01 Mar 2022 | 01:40:43 | |
On this special episode Mitch, Mike, Dan and Conor kick off Oceania Month with the designer of the much-loved Hadrian's Wall: Bobby Hill. Bobby shares with us what games helped inspire Hadrian's Wall, lets us into the clandestine goings-on of his gaming group, laments as he slowly evolves into his father, and lets us in on his next project! In the Board Game Bracket we settle the last match-up, Wingspan vs Lords of Waterdeep, before we tee up the next battle: Viticulture vs Quacks of Quedlinburg. To make sure your favourite goes through to the next round make sure you vote on our socials. Finally, in Swear An Oath Dan played Targi for the first time and loved it, but is still gearing up to the Under Falling Skies campaign. Mike got Clank in Space to the table and is now seriously wondering if he bothers keeping the original Clank! Conor played Imperial Settlers with Adrian, and also played Oath to mixed feelings from the group. Meanwhile Mitch is still mentally preparing to play Cerebria. New oaths include to beat a personal best in Hadrian's Wall (Dan), Railroad Ink (Mike), Zapotech (Conor), to take a break and smell the roses (Bobby), and After The Virus (Mitch).

| Episode 169: Empires of the North, Terra Mystica, Ark Nova | 11 Jan 2022 | 02:12:18 | |
Join Adrian, Sarah, and Conor as they share some of their recent experiences of playtesting some upcoming games including Anunnaki, Skate Summer, and Scrap. In our Sizzling Games tonight Conor revisits a favourite of the podcast Empires of the North. Sarah has been enjoying Terra Mystica on Board Game Arena recently and recalls how it was one of the first heavy games she ever played, and the team discuss the similarities with Gaia Project. Not to be outdone, Adrian has been playing the new hotness in Ark Nova, managing his own unique zoo. We launch the next match-up in the Bracket Battle 2.0: Barrage vs Maracaibo. It's Adrian vs Conor and they plead their case as to why their game is better. To make sure your favourite goes through to the next round make sure you vote on our socials. Finally in Swear an Oath Adrian's vow to teach Aeon's End to Conor remains, but he did get to play his Secret Santa game: Cryo. Conor is still staring at his unpainted Warhammer minis, and also hasn't played The Mad Titan just yet. Sarah fulfilled her oath to play Chronicles of Crime but unfortunately the first case left her lukewarm. New oaths include 10x plays of Ark Nova (Adrian), Super Skill Pinball: Ramp It Up (Conor), and the Terra Mystica expansions (Sarah).

We hear all about her journey into the board game space and her unique approach to game reviews. She also gives us insight into her identity as a trans woman in the board game community in the wake of joining SU&SD. We are so appreciative of her grace and candour. Then we dive into all the games we've been playing. Joe runs through the heap of games from his recent Brisbane trip. Emily talks about the best of the Oink series, including a new game for Lauren to use in therapy. After that we've got the regularly scheduled Question of the Pod, and we attempt to fulfil some of our oaths.

| Episode 168: Men At Work, Undaunted: Reinforcements, Maquis | 07 Jan 2022 | 01:44:06 | |
Solo Gamers Unite! On this episode of the Board Game BBQ Podcast Dan, Mitch and Mike dive into the world of solo games. Mitch is a veteran of solo game, Mike is new to the solo experience, and Dan is somewhere in the middle. The crew discuss their solo experiences, why they enjoy solo games, and share some of their favourites. In the Sizzling Games segment, Mike has been testing his dexterity with Men At Work, Mitch has been expanding his Undaunted games with the Reinforcements expansion, and Dan has been sneaking around around France in Maquis. We dive back into the Bracket Battle and announce the winner of the last match up: Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion vs Raiders of the North Sea. Finally in Swear an Oath, Dan has almost cleared the decks of unfulfilled oaths with just Journeys of Middle Earth remaining. Mike is roping Jules and Dan into playing Ankh in the coming days, and Mitch tiptoed through the tulips in Meadow. New oaths include Dinosaur Island: Rawr and Write (Dan), Mystic Vale (Mike), and Dune Imperium (Mitch). And the Secret Segment makes a return after Mitch dared Dan to host the episode as Arnold Schwarzenegger. That was never going to go well...

| Episode 167: Voyages, Anno 1800, Mini Express, Nyet! | 04 Jan 2022 | 01:46:46 | |
We are back for 2022! (was there ever any doubt?) Join Adrian, Sarah, Def and Jules as they discuss giving games a second chance. What factors can sour a first play, what you should consider when you first learn a game, and the team list some games they have granted a second chance. In the Sizzling Games segment, Jules has been the playing the new Roll and Write from friend of the show Matthew Dunstan (and Rory Muldoon): Voyages. Sarah has been enjoying the Martin Wallace city building game Anno 1800. Def is still living out his train fantasies with Mini Express. Finally Adrian has found his new favourite trick-taking game: Nyet! We dive back into the Bracket Battle and recap the last match up: Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion vs Raiders of the North Sea. Finally in Swear an Oath Def fulfilled his oaths of Clans of Caledonia and also Hellenica: Story of Greece. Adrian overcame Mitch's sleep-inducing tutorial and played Merchants of the Dark Road, and also played Santa's Workshop, but fell short of teaching Conor Aeon's End. Sarah hasn't played Chronicles of Crime yet, but did play Forge War. Jules played half a game of Mysthea (so it doesn't count!) but is prepared to play it at this weekend's Melbourne Board Game Day. In the spirit of second chances, Adrian swears an oath to revisit Dwellings of Eldervale, Def swears to give Imperium: Classics a second chance, Sarah swears to play Great Western Trail, and Jules will finally finish painting his Unsettled minis.
