Seppers is back to talk about End of The line after we chat about words meaning other things, King Charles, Mother Theresa, and then chat a little bit about Dungeon Crawler Carl, Energy Empires and Threaded. And we're laughing a lot. So maybe kick back and enjoy three friends mucking about and forgetting this is about board games.

It's here. Our essential Game of the Year edition. 
The list of games that made us glad that we're part of the hobby. 
Not all of these games were released in 2025, but you can guarantee that in some way, shape or form, they made our year a good one. 
So sit back, relax and enjoy.

Joined by EmGameScoring to chat all about being involved in the latest hotness of this new Instagram media stuff, which I'm not convinced will take off. However they are doing very well in the space and so I thought it was definitely worth a chat about the new BG media landscape, and why you simply can't have all the Nazgul in one space.
Please give them a follow in all their relevant links, they're doing a great job to highlight the retail spaces in the hobby as well as create some great short form content. It was a fascinating chat to get their viewpoint as someone so new..
Please make sure you check out the links below you lovelies.
