Episode 101: Don't Worry, Kelp is on the Way - with Carl Robinson

Oct 17, 2023

After the multimedia extravaganza that was Episode 100, we keep the fireworks going by inviting first time guest and first time designer Carl Robinson. Carl has designed Kelp, a two-player asymmetrical game that offers players a unique opportunity to delve into the natural world of Pyjama Sharks and Common Octopuses, set in a South African kelp forest. Those were absolutely my words alone, and not a cut and paste from Board Game Geek.

In addition to discussing the story behind that game, Dan, Carl and Mike have a wide ranging conversation that includes, but isn't limited to:

• Dan's impressions of this year's Essen Spiel which he absolutely did not attend.
• Mike and Carl's impressions of this year's Essen Spiel which they absolutely did attend.
• Kendal Mint Cake.
• Urinal Cakes, plus bonus toilet discussion.
• Extra bonus toilet serenades.
• Teaching children how to play Poirot.
• How people in the North of England count sheep.

All of this, plus Dan's Soundtrack game, A Few Acres of Rubbish, and a disgusting amount of board game discussion.
