We speak to Stephen Rhodes who works for Ubisoft as a writer. He wrote bits of The Witcher 3. And Homefront Evolution. He loves Bloodbowl and he used to only be allowed to play with 4 warhammer figures.  He was a very interesting guest and you should be listening to this as soon as you can.

PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE SOME AUDIO ISSUES WITH THIS SHOW. Richard is joined by David Newton who has probably had more shout outs than Bryan Wade and all because of his wonderful card/ worker placement game Temp Worker Assassins.  It seemed fit for us to find out where the inspiration came for the game so David takes us on a journey that involves Dominion all the way through Magic and beyond.  There was an audio issue on David's side that we have done our best with and we hope it doesn't detract too much from the show.  Links Of Note Website: www.tempworkerassassins.com Amazon:https://www.amazon.co.uk/David-Newton-Games-Worker-Assassins/dp/B01LZ6JUS6 Twitter: @TWAssassins Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TempWorkerAssassins/ Adam Bolton's Website: http://www.adambolton.co.uk/   Like what you hear?

We have a chat about Eclispe, before talking about boardgames in an educational environment before bringing the main talking point to the floor. It was throughly interesting chat and we had a lot of fun talking to him and we will be posting the Kickstarter link as soon as we have it.

Richard is joined by Andy Benford, who after serving in the Navy on various Submarines for twenty one years, took a game idea that he developed originally in the 1970s and worked with Osprey Games to make it a reality in the form of They Come Unseen. It's a rare thing indeed that a designer takes their real world experiences and places it into their boardgame. Andy's story is fascinating from the very beginning from the original idea to the final product. He was a total delightful guest and we loved having him on the show.
