Episode 184 - Ada's Dream, Viticulture Bordeaux, Yotei Sanctuary, Apex Legends, and Rivers of London RPG

In Episode 184 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, the lads take on a globe-spanning mix of games—from thoughtful design and vineyard strategy to mythic landscapes, video game chaos, and urban fantasy roleplaying.

We begin with Ada's Dream, a thoughtful and inventive design that blends puzzly mechanisms with a unique theme. We then head back to the vineyard, in Viticulture: Bordeaux, exploring what this new twist brings to the classic worker-placement favourite and whether it's worth uncorking. Next, we venture into Yotei, to build a town using potatoes, in this light strategy game coming to Kickstarter soon. The light strategy continues, with Sanctuary, a remake of Ark Nova, but in as a tile laying game and in a change of pace likely to give you whiplash, we finish the board game chat with a look at the Apex Legends board game. Finally we speed through the magical streets of London in an old Jag, with the Rivers of London RPG.

And don't forget—you can join the discussion over on our [Discord server]!
