Finally back in the chair after three weeks off and very happy to be here!
I go through all the Games that Were (spoiler alert, there were a lot!), I take you through what's INCOMING!!!!, we're going to skip over FOMOMOFO for reasons, and in Voices In My Head I share my thoughts on the chaos of the world today.
This is not a tariff podcast, but I'd call it 'tariff adjacent'..... and a different kind of FOMO, the Fear of Missing Out on games we've already paid for....
Have a great week OMC crew, missed ya!

12 hour gaming day yesterday means a full wrap today! Super Trooper and I do a full breakdown of all the 'Games that Were!' from yesterday's game day, with a side of random ramblings.
A short break as I'm off on holiday for 2 weeks, but will be back after that!
Have a great week, OMC crew!

This week, I"m back after traveling for work and have been making up for lost time.
You get to hear about all 'The Games That Were', and this week, there were plenty, including new games off my Shelf of Firsts!
New games in, though no sign of 'the game that shall not be named', instead, some retail games have just come in, finally available in Australia, HUZZAH!!!
In FOMOMOFO we'll chat about a number of campaigns, none of which I'm backing (spoiler alert), and in 'Voices in my Head', I'm unpicking two Egyptian themed games that tickle the same spot for me, and do a fantastic job of it.
Have a great week, OMC crew!
Note: minor 'My Island' game spoilers 18:45-19:15

Be good to each other!

This week in the 'games that were', I take you through a whole swag of games that are now and forever removed from my 'shelf of firsts', I revisit some of my most watched pledge managers and update on crowdfunding this week.
In 'voices in my head', I take you through my personal obsession with game inserts and I give someone the clap.

This week I go through the 'games that were' from the last 2 weeks, spoiler alert, it was a fantastic 2 weeks...
In INCOMING!!!! I go through what's on the way in, aside from BOTSE, which yes, I will talk about again, sorry, not sorry.... FOMOMOFO touches on the crowdfunding campaigns that are starting to kick off, though it is most definitely a slow start, along with the campaigns that are coming, which look to be amazing!
In 'Voices In My Head', I share my own story, and the role that board games have played and continue to play, in my mental health, I can't be the only one.
Oh, and I give the clap to a very deserved individual, with my personal thanks.

This is the first in OMC's series for 2025 'Not all heroes wear capes', where I bring to you the origin stories for some of board gaming's most notable contributors. Every hero has a beginning, and I'm very excited for this series.
In this episode, we get a VERY candid look at the legendary Paul Grogan and how Gaming Rules was born.
Please note, this was OMC's first international recording and due to some technical difficulties parts of the interview needed to be re-recorded after the fact. If you sense any irregularities or unusual fluctuations in the episode, please note that every effort has been made to correct the gaps with integrity and accuracy to the original interview. My effusive thanks to Paul Grogan for making himself available, and for also for his understanding of the unfortunate gaffe.
Also, for those of you that are wondering if Paul Grogan is as much a gentleman in person as he appears to be, the answer is no, he is not. He is far more, with a generosity of spirit that supersedes your expectations at every turn.
Oh yes, and cicadas. Still the freaking cicadas.
-
In our last episode recorded in 2024 Super Trooper and I unpick our top 10 most played for the year, not our top ten games, but those that were on the table the very most!
As usual, we wrap that up with a few more special treats for dessert, as this season is all about as much as you can fit in as possible, and we cover off our top 'new to us', and then we of course finish with our pick for best release of 2024.
Happy new year clappers!

I've survived Christmas, it's NYE tomorrow, and I've only played 3 different games, but spoiler alert, I've played Agemonia 8 times.

It's a big week for content, and I'm just getting started.
Love ya.

This week I go through all the Games That Were, what's happening with 'Incoming!!!!', my waning Christmas related Fomomofo, and in Voices in my Head I talk back and forth on the difference between affordability and value, and what they mean to me when I talk about board games.
Then I give the clap to a very special person, without whom, we wouldn't get through the season. You know who you are.
also... cicadas....

This bonus episode featuring the inimitable Super Trooper has us choosing between this or that!
10 rounds of life's hard choices, and I hope you like freaking cicadas, because it's Starship Troopers right now, down under.
And for dessert we go three rounds of non-board game related choices, so you're going to get to know a little more about two board game legends.
Yes, legends. Love ya!

And I beg Santa again for delivery of Betrayal of the Second Era, by Christmas.... I will bake the best mother flippin' cookies you've ever eaten, Fat Man....

This week on OMC we're joined by a very special guest and friend of the show, and we're discussing the games that absolutely must be played in 2025.
Are they on our 'shelf of firsts'? Classics we want to play again? Incoming crowdfunding games?
Yes, yes they are.
Then we drop a little dessert with 'The Fat Man Cometh'....
Game on.

This week I dive into the games that were, I talk about what's Incoming and the details of Postman Pete's workload, this week's FOMOMOFO which was massive, and in Voices In My Head, I share my first time, all my first times.
I give the clap to someone that truly deserves it and then I sail off into the sunset.

In this episode, we'll talk about the games that were... not many games, but MASSIVE ones, we zip through INCOMING!!!! and spend quite a bit of time with my personal issues in FOMOMOFO, before tackling the notion of the Uber Campaign, and then giving a (potentially controversial) clap.

In this episode you get to hear about all 'the games that were', we talk about Civolution in 'Incoming!!!!', I take you to a Lacerda-esque Japan, and farming in space in 'FOMOMOFO', and in Voices in my Head I share a deep and meaningful insight into how a dip on boardgames affected my general well being over the last 2 weeks. Don't worry, it has a happy ending.
Excelsior!

Welcome to Episode 8, with all the OMC goodness. We have a great week of 'the games that were', and a solid update on 'Incoming!!!!', there's no FOMOMOFO this week due to the shift in publishing schedule.
I dissect the glorious card play in Arcs, which has been very much underplayed in every review I've seen and of course, I'm going to give someone the 'clap'.
Saddle up, clappers.
