Join Banana, Conor and Joe as they discuss what has been hitting the table. Joe is mixing Tinder and board games in an effort to get through his shelf of shame.  Conor is living his best life in Sydney with his brother from another mother and building arrays in Civolution. Banana is more fascinated by Joe’s love life than any games, although she’s excited about getting another fix of Ark Nova vibes in Sanctuary.  There’s lots of gaming goodness here, so join us for the chat!   Sizzling Games: Quacks of Quedlinburg [44.11] Civolution [50.14] Sanctuary [59.55] Question of the Pod Recap [1.10.28] New Question of the Pod: What’s a great game to play on a date, and why?     Check out our Eventbrite page for all of our upcoming Game Days: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/o/board-game-bbq-32833304483   Has this episode left you with a thirst for more?
