Episode 113 of The Offline Gamer is packed with recent plays, convention finds, crowdfunding picks, and community chat. Matt and Karen return to a more traditional format after a busy few months of conventions and travel, diving into everything they’ve been playing since Christmas.

This episode features first impressions of Flamecraft Duals, Coffee Rush: Piece of Cake, Earth, Skyrise, Crumbs, Darwin’s Journey, Rookling Heroes: Training Grounds, and more. Karen also shares thoughts on several solo plays including Dorfromantik: Light Luggage, Floriferous, Isle of Cats, and Mists Over Carcassonne.

They also revisit Reddit Threads of the Month, discussing how gamers use BoardGameGeek and how much box art, presentation, and aesthetics influence buying decisions. Finally, Crowdfunding Corner returns with a huge roundup of upcoming and recently backed games, including Red Leaf University, Chicken Fried Dice, Oakspire, Before the Rain, Star Trek mystery games, and plenty more.

A jam-packed episode full of honest impressions, light-hearted banter, and lots of board game chat as the countdown to UK Games Expo begins.
