Episode 175 - More Essen Picks Ayar, Æterna, Galileo Galilei, & Battle for Hoth

We may have already put out a Spiel Essen preview list, but in this episode we talk about some games coming to Essen that we have actually played, including a hot of the press review of Ayar: Children of the Sun, the latest euro board game from Fabio Lopiano and Mandela Fernandez-Grandon. We also work as struggling artists in Bohemiums, race across space and try not to get blown up in Galaxy Trucker: Do What?!, and solve ancient maths puzzles in cutesy family game Kingdom Crossing.   But wait, there's more, we also attempt to rule Rome in Æterna, discover the stars in Galileo Galilei, and recreate the one of the most awesome battle scenes in Star Wars Battle for Hoth. And don't forget—you can join the discussion over on our [Discord server]!     Podcast Contents 00:11:12 Galaxy Trucker: Do What?! 00:14:46 Kingdom Crossing 00:19:04 Ayar: Children of the Sun 00:40:17 Æterna (Aeturna) 00:50:47 Galileo Galilei 01:01:45 Battle for Hoth For a 10% discount at Tabletop Dominion (the amazing makers of the dice cubes), go to tabletopdominion.com/POLYHEDRONCOLLIDER or use the code POLYHEDRONCOLLIDER at checkout Show Sponsor: Kienda When you sign up to an account with Kienda use this link to bag yourself a wee discount and help support the show.  Let's face it, you were going to buy a board game anyway Follow Us on Social Media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PolyhedronCollider Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/polyhedroncollider Threads: https://www.threads.net/@polyhedroncollider The latest episode is available to listen on the following pod-cast services: iTunes -  https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-polyhedron-collider-cast/id1087398150  Spotify -  https://open.spotify.com/show/1rAPFNc5rE6JURNYakNzA3  Amazon - https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/eba45bc5-0a1d-493c-bbbd-024fe5714147/the-polyhedron-collider-cast YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@polyhedroncollider  Player FM -  https://player.fm/series/the-polyhedron-collider-cast  Podbay -  http://podbay.fm/show/1087398150  Or you can add the http://polyhedroncollider.libsyn.com/rss Polyhedron Collider Cast RSS feed to your favourite podcast player  Intro and Outro Music: "Ouroboros" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com).
