In this weeks episode of the Board Games and Book Club Podcast, we are here with our usual catch-up of the books we've been reading and the games we've been playing, as well as another round of Read Between the Lines.

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.

One of the games we discussed this week is Uh Oh, Dino!, the kickstarter for this game has now launched, and if anyone is interested you can find all the details here.

In this episode of the Board Games and Book Club Podcast, we share the latest books we’ve been reading and the games we’ve been playing, before diving into another round of Read Between the LKines (we are still open to suggestions).

Then it’s time for our feature discussion: rereading books from childhood. From the comfort reads that shaped us to the surprises (good and bad) of returning to old favourites, we explore what it’s like to revisit the stories that first sparked our love of reading.

In episode 3 of the podcast, we catch up on the books we've consumed and the games we've got to the table in the last two weeks. Read Between the lines is back for its third installment (please help Jess, she needs a new title), where we are quizzing each other on book blurbs and game flavour text. And finally this week we have our main segment, which is a discussion about cooperative vs competitive board games. Do we prefer to team up against the puzzle of the game, or would we rather go head-to-head and have only one winner?
