Up here in Average Gamer Towers (that’s totally a thing and not something we just made up to make ourselves sound more grandiose than we actually are…) we love a good tabletop game. Fully 50% of our team are MASSIVE Star Wars fans, and so it stands to reason that the first big review we put on our humble little blog is for a game set in the Star Wars universe.
Join us, if you will, in casting your mind back through the mists of time to the the distant past of 2012, where a little company by the name of Fantasy Flight Games released a game that would become one of the biggest selling tabletop games of all time; Merchant of Venus second edition!
Oh, and they also brought out something called Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game.
Our ninth episode has arrived! Like Christmas come early, we’ve, er, come early to talk to you about our tabletop game wishlists for Christmas this year, as well as talking about the merits of painting your boardgame miniatures!

Here we are with our eighth episode! On this episode we discuss Lee’s return to the Warhammer 40,000 universe with Kill Team from Games Workshop. We also talk about him crawling through space-dungeons with Star Saga from Mantic Games. The guys have played Aristeia from Corvus Belli, this time with the Smoke and Mirrors expansion kindly provided to us by Corvus Belli! To round off our ‘what we’ve been playing’ section, we talk we give a brief overview of our first playthrough of Deep Madness as well – without spoiling too much, it was very good!
For the main section of the show, we discuss our second play through of Twilight Imperium 4th edition from Fantasy Flight Games and our fantasy role-playing game we’ve been playing using the Genesys Role Playing system, also from Fantasy Flight Games.
Lee also mentions the world that the RPG is set in – it’s a bit too long for these show-notes, so they’ll get added in a new blog post soon!
