Episode 185 - Orloj, Kinfire Council, Warcrow Adventures, and Fate Defenders of Grimheim

In Episode 185 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, the boys tackle another eclectic lineup of tabletop goodness—featuring astronomical clocks, fantasy councils, tactical dungeon crawling, and heroic last stands against the forces of darkness. We begin in medieval Prague with Orloj, a beautifully themed Euro inspired by the construction of the famous astronomical clock. It's all about timing, efficiency, and trying not to get lost in a sea of gears and iconography. Next up, we head into the world of Kinfire Council, where negotiation, politics, and strategic card play collide. The dungeon-crawling boots are back on as we explore Warcrow Adventures. We discuss the campaign system, tactical combat, and whether Corvus Belli's leap into narrative fantasy adventure delivers the goods. Finally, we make our stand in Fate: Defenders of Grimheim, a co-operative tower defence-inspired board game full of monsters, teamwork, and heroic desperation. It's big, bold, and occasionally brutal. Along the way expect the usual Collider mix of over-analysis, questionable strategy advice, and tangents that somehow make perfect sense at the time. Tune in for another packed episode of board game chat, fantasy adventures, and cardboard chaos—and let us know what's been hitting your table lately over on our [Discord server]!   Podcast Contents 00:00:00 Polyhedron Collider Live at UK Games Expo  00:04:20 Orloj: The Prague Astronomical Clock 00:23:24 Warcrow Adventures 00:37:35 Fate: Defenders of Grimheim 00:48:25 Kinfire Council   ⭐Show Sponsor: E Toys World When you sign up to an account with E Toys World use this link [https://www.etoysworld.co.uk/discount/PHC10] to bag yourself a wee discount and help support the show.  Let's face it, you were going to buy a board game anyway 😉 For a 10% discount at Tabletop Dominion (the amazing makers of the dice cubes), go to tabletopdominion.com/POLYHEDRONCOLLIDER or use the code POLYHEDRONCOLLIDER at checkout 👥Follow Us on Social Media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PolyhedronCollider Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/polyhedroncollider Threads: https://www.threads.net/@polyhedroncollider 🎧The latest episode is available to listen on the following pod-cast services: iTunes -  https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-polyhedron-collider-cast/id1087398150  Spotify -  https://open.spotify.com/show/1rAPFNc5rE6JURNYakNzA3  Amazon - https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/eba45bc5-0a1d-493c-bbbd-024fe5714147/the-polyhedron-collider-cast YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@polyhedroncollider  Player FM -  https://player.fm/series/the-polyhedron-collider-cast  Podbay -  http://podbay.fm/show/1087398150  Or you can add the http://polyhedroncollider.libsyn.com/rss Polyhedron Collider Cast RSS feed to your favourite podcast player  Intro and Outro Music: "Ouroboros" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com).
