12 May 2024Episode 147 - Carpe Diem, Salton Sean, and Sea, Salt & Paper01:19:42

Why not buy a board game from our sponsors Kienda: kienda.co.uk/polyhedroncollider

Warning: This podcast contains strong language and adult content

The boys from the Collider waste little time in the latest episode of the Collider Cast and get straight to business discussing the clever but hideously ugly Carpe Diem by Stefan Feld on which both Andy and Rory agree upon, for a change. Steve talks us through the deeply satisfying, if not mentally taxing and beautifully pastel Salton Sea from Devir Games. Sid and Rory chime in with their two cents of their experience of that and Sea, Salt and Paper that they'd enjoyed on a work day bunk at the Games Den.

The episode wraps with some burning questions from the bag bag, such as Bacon of Sausage Sarnie.

13 Mar 2020Dark Ages Kickstarter Competition00:02:39

To celebrate the launch of the Kickstarter for Dark Ages, the new game from Adam Kwapiński, designer of Lords of Hellas and Nemesis, we are launching a very special competition in association with our god friends at Board & Dice.


Dark Ages is a historically-based civilization-building game that features an innovative action selection mechanism. As long as your action markers remain on the board, you may be able to gain secondary bonus actions whenever you or another player repeats the action.


While Dark Ages features objectives commonly found in 4X games — encouraging you to explore nearby regions, expand your territory, exploit the resources, and exterminate your opponents — it does so featuring several Euro-centric mechanisms. Collect resources from lands under your control, using them to build up your cities and fortifications. Some building types provide several ways for you to gain important in-game advantages, while others enhance your military strength or simply score you victory points. As you expand your territory, you will lay claim to noble titles, acquire new technologies, and train your military units. Each region and leader offer asymmetrical choices with their unique abilities.


Dark Ages launches on 16th March and you could win yourself a copy. The winner will receive a copy of Dark Ages including all stretch goals, with free worldwide shipping to anywhere except Brazil, Libya, Syria, the Philippines, Reunion and Venezuela. The winner will also be provided with a letter bestowing upon them the title of Champion of the Unified Kingdom.


To win this prize we want you to design a heraldry or coat of arms for Polyhedron Collider. Send that design to us in any format you want, but please send all entry to steve@polyhedroncollider.com

You have until 20 March 2020 to submit your design.

Why not buy a board game from our sponsors Kienda: kienda.co.uk/polyhedroncollider

Warning: This podcast contains strong language and adult content

No, it’s not a Bisto advert, it’s Rory and Steve’s gushing review of Yonder from Sinister Fish[/company], their latest worker placement boardgame from Villagers and Moon designer Haakon Gaarder  - which is currently live on Kickstarter and absolutely worth your time checking out.

We then get all Lovecraftian with a lively discussion about Cthulhu Death May Die from CMON (and provided by show sponsor Kienda), its similarities to Mansions of Madness and whether both, or either are any good - are you Team Sid, or Team Rory?

We then move to the other end of tabletop gaming as we explore the bonkers, pulpy Achtung! Cthulhu 2D20 Starter Set from Modiphius.

Games Mentioned

00:02:30 Pandemic Legacy: Season 2

19 Feb 2024Episode 143 - Expeditions, Scythe, and Scholars of the South Tigris01:16:51

Warning: This podcast contains strong language and adult content

The Polyhedron Collider Cast is back with another episode packed with tabletop gaming chatter. 

In this episode, our hosts, Steve, Andy, Sid, and Rory, bring us breaking news that's set to change the game – literally. We're talking about a new sponsorship deal with Kienda that's as exciting for the listeners as it is for the podcast. With a special QR code discount for board game purchases, it's a win-win for everyone involved.

But that's just the beginning. The episode takes a playful turn with discussions ranging from selling body parts for board games (yes, you read that right) to the possibility of wearing sponsored pyjamas. 

The meat of the episode, however, lies in the thoughtful and in-depth discussions of two board games that have captured the hosts' attention: 'Expeditions' and 'Scholars of the South Tigris.' 

We'll also be answering listener questions, including a trip down memory lane as we attempt to recall the very first games we played with each other. Expect a blend of nostalgia, confusion, and the usual banter as we try to piece together our gaming origins.

Games Mentioned

00:00:00 Sponsorship
00:07:10 Airecon https://www.airecon.co.uk/tickets
00:11:42 Andy's trip to Japan: Crash Octopus and Yura Yura Penguin

03 Aug 2020Episode 86: Agra, Everdell, and Alien RPG01:11:27

Warning: This podcast contains strong language and adult content

Episode 86 of Polyhedron Collider is the best tabletop gaming podcast ever made, and anyone who says otherwise is wrong!
The best thing about Polyhedron Collider is the news about that Restoration Games trademarking the name Heroquest Legacy. We get excited about the chance to play the best board game ever made in legacy format, and quote lines from the best YouTube video ever made.
The best thing about Polyhedron Collider is the review of Agra. Curry is the finest meal in all the land, and perfect for feeding to tired workers in this Indian themed euro worker placement board game.
The best thing about Polyhedron Collider is the discussion about Everdell. Look at the badgers, the foxes, the weasel, and the enormous tree that blocking the board. Actually, forget about the tree. Lets just put the cards on the table.
The best thing about Polyhedron Collider is the review of Alien the roleplaying game. Explore the bleak expanse of cold dead space, while being terrorised Xenomorphs ready to rip out you throat and spill acidic blood all over you.

Games Mentioned

00:06:21 Spiel des Jahres winners announced
00:11:27 Heroquest Legacy

Why not buy a board game from our sponsors Kienda: kienda.co.uk/polyhedroncollider

Warning: This podcast contains strong language and adult content

In this jam-packed episode of tabletop gaming chat, we have a few miniature painting brags to get out of the way before we delve into four in-depth board game reviews (sorry if you were hoping for some DIY or BBQ tips in this episode).

The dice-drafting, area control game, Castellans gets the Polyhedron Collider treatment, before Steve and Rory wax lyrical about the two-player cooperative game, the Spiel des Jahres game of the year winner Sky Team. We then explore and map new islands in Maps of Misterra, before sailing the high seas in search of booty in Port Royal: The Dice Game.

Finally, we delve into the mailbag to talk about AI in board games, and our biggest gaming surprise of the year.

31 Mar 2024Episode 145 - Airecon, Heat, Faraway, and Sidequest Nemesis01:11:36

Warning: This podcast contains strong language and adult content

Join the PhC boys for Episode 145 as Andy discovers his lucky totem that allows him to make it to and from Airecon without his car breaking down. Steve accedentally creates what is sure to be the best fabric softener in the history of fabric softners. Sid invents a new word #Begrumble, and Rory awards himself the board game equivalent of the Victoria Cross for playing his least favourite game on the BGG Top 100.

They also discuss the highlights and the further highlights of Airecon, which unsurprisingly consists of food, beer, and board games (in that order), including: a chaotic and hilarious game of Heat from Days of Wonder, the light and delightful "revesres action-programming" Faraway from Catch Up Games/Hachette, and challenging, almost dinner-reservation-missing, Side Quest Nemesis from Board & Dice.

A quick dip into the mail bag reveals thier most hated "popular" game and an announcement that if you are not already following Polyhedron Collider onInstagram, now might be a good time to do so as there is an upcoming competion supported by show sponsor Kienda!

Games Mentioned

00:10:22 Heat: Pedal to the Metal
00:22:23 Faraway
00:31:54 Sidequest: Nemesis
