In Episode 173 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, we tackle Pax Pamir, The Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship, General Orders: Sengoku Jidai, and Ink, while Sid shares his eldritch adventures at a live Call of Cthulhu show in Edinburgh.

In Episode 173 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, we’re knee-deep in intrigue, fellowship, feudal battles, and… calligraphy? That’s right, we’ve got a varied lineup of games to talk about, and plenty of banter to go with it. As always, expect a healthy mix of strategy talk, tangents, and the usual Collider nonsense.
Sid & the Call of Cthulhu Live
Sid takes a detour from the tabletop to Edinburgh, where he experienced a live Call of Cthulhu performance. Expect tales of eldritch horror, theatrical madness, and perhaps one or two sanity checks.
Pax Pamir
We revisit Cole Wehrle’s masterpiece of politics, shifting alliances, and fragile empires in 19th century Afghanistan. Is it still as brilliant—and brutal—as we remember?
The Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship
Middle-earth gets a fresh spin in this new take on Tolkien’s epic. We explore whether it captures the tension, the drama, and the journey of the Fellowship (with fewer second breakfasts).
General Orders: Sengoku Jidai
Two players, one board, and a battle for feudal Japan. From the minds behind Undaunted, this tight tactical skirmish impressed us with its elegance and depth.
Ink
A light pattern game that’s quick to teach but surprisingly tricky to master. Perfect for when your brain’s fried after too much Pax Pamir.
