We know, we missed another week, but hopefully things are now back on track and we are back again.

We kick things off with the books and games we’ve been enjoying over the last fortnight, dive into another round of Read Between the Lines

Then we unwrap our main topic: stocking filler board games. We chat about the small-box surprises, portable crowd-pleasers, and clever little titles that make perfect gifts (or perfect additions to your own shelves). Cozy vibes, quick laughs, and lots of recommendations.

We know, we've been away and missed an episode, we had an amazing time at York Board Games Convention, but we are back now.

In this episode of Board Games and Book Club, we catch up on the latest books we’ve been reading and games we’ve been playing before diving into Read Between the Lines.

Then, we explore the wonderful worlds of the book and board game communities — from cozy book clubs and game groups to online spaces full of recommendations, reviews, and shared passion. We chat about what makes each community special, how they’ve changed, and the friendships and fun that come with being part of them.

Then we will diving into our main topic for this episode: abstract versus thematic board games. From elegant mechanics and minimalist designs to rich stories and immersive worlds, we explore what makes each style shine — and which side of the board we lean toward.
