Episode 10: Mindclash of the titans

Whose Turn Is It Anyway?

Our first player Davey returns and we're going in heavy, well it's difficult to not when you've devoted an episode around one of our favourite publishers "Mindclash Games".
FIRST PLAYER: Davey
OTHER PLAYERS: JP & Kerley
OVERVIEW
In this episode our new "First Player" Davey takes us around the world in complex, heavy cardboard that is Mindclash Games. In this episode you'll learn:
- How Beckys recent purchase of Spirit Island is fast becoming a firm favourite in the Kerley household
- That JP loves role playing the captain in Unfathomable a bit too much, "Throw him in the brig"
- that Davey is finally getting his copy of Clank! Legacy to the table
- How we rank the main 4 games from Mindclash (Cerebria, Anachrony, Trickerion and Perseverance)
- how we "try" to answer the question of why do we buy board games and not play them
