In this episode, we spend some time talking about our favourite sci-fi board games. To go with that we will also be reviewing Starship Captains, a game with a familiar theme, and MLEM Space Agency. We wrap up with a longer-than-usual week in review including first thoughts on My City, Cartographers Heroes, Zensu, and the recently re-released digital version of Dominion.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
