Kylie: Wolfgang Warsch’ gorgeous new game, Fuji, pits players as mismatched adventurers who find themselves on top of Japan’s most famous volcano. But it was poor planning on the part of the travel agent, because right as you reach the top, Mount Fuji begins to erupt. You and your companions will have to race against the flow of lava, back to the safety of the village.
Did I mention that this is a co-operative game? Together, players will either scramble to safety, or burn to a crisp.

Quinns: If you own the party game Monikers, then this is an emergency! There are just 24 hours left to back our Serious Nonsense Box on Kickstarter. Packing a whopping 330 new cards, all of them hewn from tiny fragments of our funny bones, it’s a massive expansion and we’re tremendously proud of it.
But guess what? If you don’t own Monikers, the good news is that the Serious Nonsense Box is a completely standalone game. The bad news is, that makes this an emergency for you as well.
There’s no time to waste! Well, actually, there are about 22 hours to waste. But absolutely no more than that.
Thanks so much, everybody.

Ava: Happy news-time, my greedy fact-fiends. Quinns is busy with the business of podcasting, so only has time for a deep dive into a single plunge pool of news. That means you’ve got me taking you on a tour of Germany, a mission to Mars, a ride on a golem, to an archaeological dig, a meeting with some Prussian generals, for a poke under the games-bonnet and into the dark heart of Mordor.
Just your average Monday, really.
Let’s get a wriggle on, we’ve so much to see.

Last summer, Quinns put out an excitable review of 878 Vikings, the latest instalment in a series he calls “The mac & cheese of wargaming.”
This summer, we’ve uploaded a clash of the (online) titans! Matt and Quinns taking on the streaming team of Creative Assembly, makers of the Total War videogames. And frankly, in the face of total war, we think our team did quite well.
Have a lovely weekend, everybody.

Ava: Quinns, Quinns? I’ve been wondering…
Quinns: Oh no.
Ava: No it’s fine. I’m just wondering, where does news come from?
Quinns: Well, Ava, when two people love news very much, they get together and…
Ava: I’ve heard enough. Let’s make like Cole Porter and do it. Let’s fall in news.
Quinns: Here we go.
