In this episode of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, the team dives into a mix of science, board games, and digital adventures. We kick things off with a discussion on SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, exploring the latest big board game from CGE searching the solar system for extraterrestrial intelligence. Shifting gears, we tackle Slay the Spire: The Board Game, a card game translation of the beloved deck-building roguelike, breaking down its strategic depth, replayability, and asking the question what it offers over its digital lineage.

The conversation then moves to Perch a cute but ruthless area control game about flocking birds, and House of Fado, a Gallerist inspired game of enticing punters to your restaurant and promoting musicians.
