Episode 43: Spot It, Teotihuacan, Pandemic Legacy Season 2

Episode 43 - Spot it!, Teotihuacan, Pandemic Legacy Season 2 They say never work with kids or animals. Well, we put that to the test on this episode as we hand the show over to our kids to tell us about their favourite games. In Sizzling Games, Dan has been trying to work out the maths behind Spot It!, Steve has been building a tribute to the Gods in Teotihuacan, and Adrian can't tell us anything about Pandemic Legacy Season 2. Our Topic of the Week is kids games for 5-9yr olds. First, we enlist Finn, Jack and Rafael to talk about their favourite games, but manage to wrestle control of the show before things get out of hand. Then we settle in to discuss some of the best kids games out there on the market, what to look for in a kid's game, and how to find the right game for your kids. In Round 2 of the Boardgame Bracket we settle the winner from the 5 Minute Dungeon vs Spirit Island match-up before Mitch pops in to defend Too Many Bones against Adrian's It's A Wonderful World. Finally, in Swear An Oath Dan and Adrian let down the side (again) by leaving Blackout: Hong Kong and Nemo's War unfulfilled. They did, however, complete Quacks of Quedlinburg and Welcome To, and Steve fulfilled Architects of the West Kingdom and 7 Wonders Duel. And new oaths are committed with Pendulum (Adrian), Towers of Arkhanos (Dan), and Trismagistus (Adrian) Sizzling Games: Spot It!
