Why not buy a board game from our sponsors Kienda: kienda.co.uk\/polyhedroncollider In Episode 173 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, we\u2019re knee-deep in intrigue, fellowship, feudal battles, and\u2026 calligraphy? That\u2019s right, we\u2019ve got a varied lineup of games to talk about, and plenty of banter to go with it. As always, expect a healthy mix of strategy talk, tangents, and the usual Collider nonsense. Sid & the Call of Cthulhu Live Sid takes a detour from the tabletop to Edinburgh, where he experienced a live Call of Cthulhu performance. Expect tales of eldritch horror, theatrical madness, and perhaps one or two sanity checks.  Pax Pamir We revisit Cole Wehrle\u2019s masterpiece of politics, shifting alliances, and fragile empires in 19th century Afghanistan. Is it still as brilliant\u2014and brutal\u2014as we remember? The Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship Middle-earth gets a fresh spin in this new take on Tolkien\u2019s epic. We explore whether it captures the tension, the drama, and the journey of the Fellowship (with fewer second breakfasts). General Orders: Sengoku Jidai Two players, one board, and a battle for feudal Japan. From the minds behind Undaunted, this tight tactical skirmish impressed us with its elegance and depth. Ink A light pattern game that\u2019s quick to teach but surprisingly tricky to master. Perfect for when your brain\u2019s fried after too much Pax Pamir.
