The Staying In Podcast - four pals talk video games, board games, and movies

Take the humour and playfulness of the LEGO games, mix it with the depth and (much of) the gameplay of the Arkham games, all while covering a fascinating mix of The Batman’s history - both fictional and aesthetic - and you’ve got Traveller's Tales’ LEGO Batman: Legacy of The Dark Knight, which we dive into on this episode.

Then we’re looking at Unstoppable, which is bringing solo and co-op play to the tabletop via Renegade Game Studios. Rulebook aside, this is a surprising and very enjoyable deck builder with lovely interactions, compelling upgrades, and a dopamine-firing power curve.

Finally, we’re having the time of our lives with The Boroughs, where everything is not as it seems in New Mexico.

All that, and keeping it camp, on Ep251.
