Summary

Join Conor, Jules and Adrian in this “all-aussie” pod as Adrian celebrates his citizenship. No longer a Brit, but an Aussie through and through … as if he wasn’t already! Adrian has been revisiting an old favourite and curing himself of the plague in Bristol 1350. Jules has been wooed by a game about picnicking on plaid with ants in the new Bitewing Games title, Gingham. Coincidentally, Conor is also corralling six-legged insects in March of the Ants. The crew also give a rundown on recent game days in all three states, their obsession with Riftbound and Conor chats about a small box hit he’s discovered. As usual there are lots of laughs and all-round gaming goodness!
