About this episode

In this episode, the hosts tackle questions about organizing game collections and choosing games fairly.

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 Iain and Ava tackle questions about organizing your game collection, how to choose a game to play in the fairest way possible, and what to play when you might all be a bit knackered. Our show notes links to games and sources we mention in running order. Games will have their BGG entry linked to, though we recognise that is not the only source of information on games.
