In Episode 183 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, the lads return from Airecon with plenty of stories, games, and questionable decisions to share. From sprawling Euros to chaotic space stations and a touch of ancient history, it's another packed episode, all brought to you with the letter S.
We kick things off with a rundown of our time at Airecon, our favourite games, Rory hulking out and bouncing cutlery. Next up, we dive into Stupor Mundi, a rich Euro inspired by Emperor Frederick II. It's simple to teach but with a lot of strategy and dick-moves! Chaos then reigns in Stationfall, the hidden-role, sandbox sci-fi game where anything can (and will) happen. We share tales of betrayal, nonsense, and why this one creates such memorable moments. Its not Airecon without the chance to play a super-heavy Lacerda game so we head to Manhatten for Speakeasy, a stylish game of prohibition-era dealings. Finally, we travel back in time with Skara Brae, a game rooted in ancient history and is all about keeping your hovel tidy and free of clutter, an attack on every board game collector.
Expect convention stories, hot takes, mild disagreements, and the usual Collider chaos throughout.
