PlayStation 5, Among Us, and Secret Santa - Ep117

December 15, 2020

00:00 - Top tips for job interview success.
04:14 - Secret Santa, part 1 - powered by Mr Lister's Quiz Shootout from Big Potato Games (plus a little bit on Thousand Year Old Vampire too).
12:45 - Looking at ladders on the loo.
15:21 - Secret Santa, part 2 - with thoughts on Fungi/Morels.
24:16 - Abandon All Artichokes from Gamewright is a light and breezy deck building game that everyone who likes board games should own.
33:51 - Gather nine people, pay $450, and spend a couple of days studying lean methodologies, and you’ll be ready for GetKanban, a surprisingly entertaining education tool crossed with a board game.
42:12 - Saashi & Saashi’s Coffee Roaster is an informative, innovative, and very very premium solitaire bag building game that’s taught us a whole bunch about the brew (and taken up a large portion of a table).
50:23 - Secret Santa, part 3 - and a compromising look at Kompromat from Helvetiq.
01:01:16 - Like social deduction games? Enjoy video games? Been living under a rock for the last month? We reckon you’ll be pleased to hear about Innersloth’s Among Us. And if you don’t, you’re sus.
01:11:48 - Secret Santa, part 4 - plus expanding on Colt Express with Marshal & Prisoners from Ludonaute, and a cowboy hat.
01:17:55 - Probably the best launch game on PlayStation 5, a showcase for the new hardware, and a love letter to the history of PlayStation: we talk ASTRO's Playroom and get all misty-eyed for the Multitap.
All that, and Collect No Carrots, with Dan (@ThisDanFrost), Kris (@DigitalStrider), Peter (@XeroXeroXero) and Sam (@MrSamTurner).
