Alert! Alert! The sofas have run amok and it is up to our heroes, Efka and Elaine, to put all the sofa pieces back together. What treasures will we find in the crevices? What hidden board game gems are gathering dust under those pillows? Star Wars: Outer Rim ( 03:55 )- How did an ENTIRE galaxy get lost in the folds of our sofa? We will never find out, but at least we can tell you if this Star Wars themed bimble bimbled our fancy. Undaunted: Normandy ( 17:44 ) - The definitive accent pillow of today's podcast is this WW2 themed deck builder. And here’s us telling you why we think it's great and… why Efka just doesn't get on with it. 1846 ( 34:16 ) - Rounding out our game discussion is the one game that is definitely bigger than any sofa - 1846, which is just one flavour of the multifaceted genre of 18xx games. Find out how we felt about our first sit down onto board gaming's hardest cushions. Want to send us a question? Fire it to efka@nopunincluded.com

In our second episode we discuss a slew of games we played at UK Games Expo 2019 and there’s quite a few goodies we can’t wait to tell you about: Pandemic: Rapid Response (2:22) Copenhagen (17:40) Letter Jam (30:00) Blood on the Clocktower (38:57) And on a final note we’ve received quite a question in our mail bag but we’ll leave that for you to discover.

In our very first episode we talk about such dangerous games as: Concordia: Venus - bringing you the terror of the mighty Roman Empire and never knowing the right time to tribune. Tiny Towns which is so tiny you won’t even notice it creep up behind you and plunge a 4x4 grid into your back. Arkwright - giving Elaine the heebie jeebies with it’s theme of British industrialism, a.k.a - what is it that the British have done again? Gentes the most dangerous kind of game of all - a mediocre euro-game. If you enjoyed this episode, you can always leave a comment at http://nopunincluded.com/podcast
