About this episode

Welcome to “But, Why Vikings?”. Each episode your hosts Tim Clare, Ava Foxfort, and Iain McAllister will answer a variety of tabletop related questions sent in to them by listeners. From tabletop etiquette to historical mysteries there is no question too esoteric for this group of gaming agony aunts. In this episode Tim and Ava dive into the tricky issues around board gaming friendships and what to do when they go wrong! They also debate the merits of expansions and muse on how many is too many. If you have questions for our next episode, please get in touch through our socials. Our show notes links to games and sources we mention in running order.
