The Staying In Podcast - four pals talk video games, board games, movies, and nonsense Staying In

In this bumper-length episode, we try to whittle down all of the things we’ve discussed over the last 100 episodes into a top 10 we can all agree on. There are laughs, there are tears, there are celebrations, there are bitter defeats. And hey, if you’re new, a very warm welcome to you. If you’re already a listener, thanks for sticking around for the last 199 of these, we really appreciate you spending your time with us.

With our refined palettes we get our teeth into the spooky dexterity needed for Dropolter (Oink Games), and our stinkin’ paws on After Us (Catch Up Games). Then we make a wish for Eight Billion Genies (Image Comics) and set our sights on Achtung Panzer! Blood & Steel Starter Set (Warlord Games). All that, and The Mitch and Lynn Man, on Ep199.

It’s back to the good old PlayStation One days with reviews of Tomb Raider I-III Remastered: Starring Lara Croft (Aspyr) and PSX horror Incident at Grove Lake (ToothandClaw). Then there’s thoughts on Accomplices (Hachette), the PlayStation Portal (Sony), and Cards vs Gravity (Big Potato Games). All that, and the best things from the 90s, on Ep198.

With three absolutely massive topics; a review of Assassin’s Creed Mirage (Ubisoft), a review of Dune: Part 2, and a look at Pocket Quest 2024 (DriveThruRPG). All that, with a very British opening, on Ep197.

We’re back from AireCon 2024, we’re playing Monster of the Week (Evil Hat) and CDSK (Hachette) and Flip, Switch and Roll (Word of Mouth Games), and we’re previewing Nunatak: Temple of Ice (Kosmos). All that, and an ineffective whistle on Ep196.

Big reviews of escape room video game Escape Academy by Coin Crew Games and Ravensburger’s Tolkien-em-up The Lord of the Rings Adventure Book Game, plus thoughts on MugenGaming’s Kiri-ai: The Duel. All that, and many more…? on Ep195.
