Description
Oceania Month continues on Episode 181 as Dan, Mitch and Jules welcome to the show Mark, Garth and Leon, aka; The Dicemen Cometh. The Dicemen Cometh have been trailblazers in the Australian Board Gaming scene for the past 10 years or more and they share with us some stories from along the journey, as well sharing their thoughts on some of the most popular games going around today. Exactly how many games are Leon's ‘Favourite Game of All-Time’? Find out in this fun interview.
Next the team break down three of the categories from the upcoming Board Game BBQ Awards: Best Light Game, Best Mediumweight Game and Best Heavy Game. You can find the link to the nomination form on all of our socials including Discord, Twitter, Instagram and on our Discord Community. Nominations are open to anyone in the community for three weeks. Facebook, Discord, Instagram, Twitter. Nominate in all 9 categories, or just a few. Once nominations close on Sunday 27th then we take the most-nominated game in each category and they become the official nominees for the BBQ Awards. Then we hand it over to our esteemed panel of judges; our Patreons; to vote. And this will all culminate in the BGBBQ Awards Night which once again will be filmed for YouTube, and we hope to have some surprises on the show as well.
In the Board Game Bracket we settle the last match-up, Twilight Imperium 4th Ed vs Targi, before we cue up the next battle: Crokinole vs A Feast For Odin. To make sure your favourite goes through to the next round make sure you vote on our socials.
Finally, in Swear An Oath, Mitch played After The Virus but gave up on the solo version of Cerebria, while Dan completed his oaths of Radlands but continues on his mission to crack 70 on Hadrian's Wall, and Jules completes his oath to paint all of his Nemesis creatures but still has Cosmic Frog to play. New oaths include Harsh Shadow (Mitch), Tiny Epic Pirates (Dan), completing Ark Nova in under 4 hours (Mark), getting everyone to play nice so he can win (Leon), Cyclades Titans with 6 players (Garth) and there's more painting ahead for Jules!
