00:00 - Slipmington. Patent pending.
09:03 - What little we know about wine, and what we love about Stonemaier Games' Viticulture Essential Edition, a relaxing worker placement in which you run a vineyard.
23:30 - Escape room games at home, including Sherlock Holmes from The Panic Room, and Exit: The Game - Theft on the Mississippi.
32:31 - Recreating the PC point and click adventure in a tabletop game, via Adventure Games: Monochrome Inc.
44:45 - The birbs in Tiny Bird Garden makes us feel #blessed, and it's the toyetic clicker for mobile and PC that we didn't know we wanted.
53:09 - Batman: Arkham VR puts you in the cowl of The Caped Crusader really well, we just wish there was a little bit more.
All that, and a visit from the croissant fairy, with Dan (@ThisDanFrost), Kris (@DigitalStrider), Sam (@MrSamTurner), and Peter (@XeroXeroXero).

00:00 - Sam's 'superpower' and Kris's least favourite theme park.
07:20 - Gorogoa is gorogorgeous, how different mediums handle pacing a story, and the definition of a visual novel.
19:35 - The natural, chilled beauty of Lonely Mountains: Downhill, and why its ability to get you into a state of flow is perfect for listening to audiobooks to.
30:58 - In a great way, Pentago reminds us of games with grandparents, which is a great abstract game from Coiledspring Games that "does to Othello what Onitama does to The Duke".
38:25 - But OH BOY, Qwirkle might be even better (and its components are superb too). A top choice for families, we reckon.
49:15 - The question to us this episode is from listener pal Nicky, who asks "have you played any old games that you had forgotten you really liked?".
All that, and very satisfying experiences, with Dan (@ThisDanFrost), Kris (@DigitalStrider), Sam (@MrSamTurner), and Peter (@XeroXeroXero).
