So naturally, we don't bother speaking about any of that but talk about his fascinating story growing up in West Germany, moving to the UK, and how he got into board games. Oliver is a genuinely lovely man to know and i hope you take the time to check out all of his marvellous contributions to the hobby. He does more than we do! Please check out the show notes below!

Episode 313: Neilan Naicker | Board Game Barrage | The Last of Him before Mark. Aug 28, 2019

Show notes

Oh Dear. That header is really small isn't it? Neilan Naicker from my 15th favourite tabletop podcast Boardgame Barrage joins me to not talk about tabletop. We talk about my favourite videogame, The Last of Us, which Neilan was involved in. Then we mention tabletop for a little bit, in the form of being jealous of Paula Deming and Matthew Jude because they are awesome, and then we chat about one question. That's about it. But we had fun.
