Reviews of the criminally good District Noir and cosy-coastguard-em-up Beacon Patrol from Pandasaurus, an early peek at the retro-tinged horror from Headware Games’ Hollowbody, the superb search action of Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and spending a sultry couple of hours with Grant Howitt’s Sexy Battle Wizards.

We kick off by precisely defining “a Tesco”, then it’s board game reviews of Shifting Stones (Gamewright) and Thunder Road: Vendetta (Restoration Games), and from the world of video games it’s thoughts on Cyberpunk 2077 (CD Projekt Red) and Inscryption (Daniel Mullins Games). All that, and snowboarding, on Ep193.

Reviews of adorable worker placement Cardboard Alchemy’s Flamecraft, infuriating memory bluffing game That’s Not a Hat! from Ravensburger, the mighty and massive Mage Knight: Ultimate Edition from Vlaada Chvátil and WizKids, classic competitive card game Dutch Blitz, and the brilliant narrative-driven adventure Star Trek: Resurgence from Dramatic Labs.

Staying In’s top 5 favourite things that we read, played, watched, and generally “discovered” in 2023 is the huge topic we try and tackle as 2024 rolls in.

Heading off on a long journey with The Lord of the Rings: Adventure to Mount Doom, wandering down the path with Killer Trails, and telling tales with The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. All that, and 2023’s Secret Santa, on Ep189.

Jumping deep into Davy Jones’ Locker: The Kraken Wakes after PudKat Games’ successful Kickstarter, the warboys scope out Osprey Games’ General Orders: World War II, and going intergalactic with The Marvels, and the incredible Mints or Mince from Big Potato Games. All that, and a lot of talk about potatoes, on Ep188.

 Critical: Sanctuary - Season 1, Jokkmokk: The Winter Market, and Fly Home! - Ep187 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:03:29

We get scammed by sellers on Temu counterfeiting boardgames by “Oink Games”, “Hasbro”, and “Mattel”, get roleplaying with Critical: Sanctuary - Season 1 from Hachette, sip tea at Davenports of Cheshire, go shopping at Jokkmokk: The Winter Market from WizKids, and Fly Home! and Fish ’n’ Flip with Helvetiq. All that, and sunshine during the cold, on Ep187.

 The Fall of the House of Usher, EXIT - The Curse of Ophir, and Twilight Imperium - Ep186 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:04:04

We (unsuccessfully) try and break The Curse, spend 12 full hours playing the epic space opera Twilight Imperium: Third Edition from Fantasy Flight Games, get locked in a puzzling hotel in EXIT - The Curse of Ophir from Nementic Games and USM, and scare ourselves silly with Mike Flanagan’s latest The Fall of the House of Usher. All that, and Big Selenite.

 They Cloned Tyrone, Undaunted: Battle of Britain, and Marcel the Shell with Shoes On - Ep185 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:03:46

We take a trip into the mysterious in the dark sci-fi They Cloned Tyrone, chat about the completely endearing Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, and if that weren’t enough, it’s off to war with Undaunted: Battle of Britain from Osprey Games. All that, and sleeping in Deep Heat, on Ep185.

 Batman: The Audio Adventures, Monster 12, and Troika! - Ep184 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:01:02

It is Autumn. We chirp on about Troika! from the Melsonian Arts Council, head back in time to the Stone Age (board game), take a look at the Open and Play series from Kosmos with particular attention centred on Monster 12 and Allie Gator, and try to resist growling “I’m Batman” while chatting about Batman: The Audio Adventures. All that, and more talk about lawnmowers than is strictly necessary, on Ep184.

 Lacuna, Regicide, Townscaper, and Benji Corless from Osprey Games - Ep183 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:00:39

Chips. You love them. We love them. This episode talks about them. But when we’re not talking chips, we’re talking: Lacuna, a delightful 2 player abstract game from CMYK; Townscaper, Oskar Stålberg’s relaxing and deeply creative build-em-up; Benji from Osprey’s lovely solo recommendations Miru and VOID 1680 AM; and the challenging cooperative deck crawler Regicide from Badgers From Mars. All that, plus hospital radio, on Ep183.

 Barbie, Happy Bee, and Dirty Pig - Ep182 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:01:57

A globetrotting episode, as the lads head around Bavaria on Segways, including a trip to the legendary FUNtainment, Hofbräuhaus, and Neuschwanstein Castle. Then we get some mucky fun in with Dirty Pig (or Drecksau) from Kosmos, look back at reMEmber from Pegasus Spiele, become one with nature with Happy Bee from Helvetiq and Coiledspring Games, and annoy all the right people with the Barbie movie. All that, plus a farewell to underwear, on Ep182.

 OXENFREE II: Lost Signals, Diablo IV, and Colin from Accounts - Ep181 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:05:06

Night School Studio’s OXENFREE II: Lost Signals is a great follow up to the original and is going to serve its fans well, while Blizzard’s own recent sequel - Diablo IV - proves to be the perfect entry into a genre you might have dismissed. And why Colin from Accounts is must-watch comedy TV from Australia that’s deeper than you might initially expect. All that, plus a lot of tidying up, on Ep181.
