Wow, have we got an episode for you. Not only are we travelling in time (thematically, not literally)… not only are we discussing the Lithuanian word for ‘yuk’…not only are we escaping a rabbit hole…but we’re also having an argument. Actually, more than one. And Efka says the word ‘’ at some point too. What more could you want?

Legacy Episodes - Live at Virtually Expo Aug 25, 2020

Show notes

Today’s episode is a little different. We recorded this one live as part of Virtually Expo, the online only version of UK Games Expo. Since we had a very strict one hour time slot, we had to truncate our longer format and revert to our previous “here’s three games we played, let’s talk about them” version of the podcast. Ah, but what games were discussed in this episode you might ask? Here’s a list with some time-stamps that will work perfectly with the video version and will be a little early for the audio one: Project Elite ( 4:27 ) Escape Room in a Box: Flashback ( 16:43 ) Oath ( 28:26 )

Legacy Episodes - Targi and Targi: The Expansion Aug 06, 2020

Show notes

If someone had said to me I’d be able to visit a Tokyo fish market, a quaint English village green, New York, and Sherlock Holmes all in one day I’d have thought they were doing a silly. But you can - and from the comfort of your own living room - by listening to our latest podcast episode. And who knows, maybe in the future we’ll really be able to visit all these places in a day - or at least go to the pub again. NPI News ( 03:03 ) Games We’ve Been Playing ( 08:11 ) Tussie Mussie ( 08:20 ) Vilage Green ( 14:02 ) Tokyo Tsukiji Market ( 22:37 ) Fort ( 36:09 ) Gaslands ( 40:17 ) Highrise ( 53:44 ) Terramara ( 59:11 ) Edge of Darkness ( 01:07:51 ) Games We’re Looking Forward To ( 01:15:26 ) Efka Grumps About a Game ( 01:17:53 ) Ride the Rails Elaine Ungrumps about a Game ( 01:26:14 ) Puzzle Deduction one and done Escape Room segment ( 01:31:07 ) Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective - The Baker Street Irregulars Feature Review - Targi & Targi: The Expansion ( 01:42:06 )
