Adam and Kyle dive deep into the surprisingly massive world of modern board games — from nostalgic family favourites to intense strategy titles like Catan, Ticket to Ride, and Abalone, plus chaotic party games like Beat That, Dobble, and the brilliantly simple OK Play. They chat about what makes a great board game, why some only work with the right group of people, how house rules can completely change gameplay, and how mobile gaming has both helped and hijacked tabletop fun.

Of course, things get wonderfully weird too, with talk of bizarre “adult” board games, inflatable charades partners, competitive family game nights, and the eternal struggle of explaining rules without sounding like a madman.

The episode eventually rolls its dice into the world of Dragons’ Den, where the lads question whether board games ever get pitched, debate the Dragons themselves, and joke about taking their own Mafia-style game “Loyalty” into the Den for investment.

It’s nostalgic, hilarious, nerdy in the best way, and full of brilliant game night inspiration.

Adam and Kyle kick off this episode by picking up the LEGO thread from last week and debating why the world’s most iconic bricks are immune to eco-friendly trends and whether LEGO’s dominance is pure genius or pure greed. From there, the conversation spirals into nostalgia: childhood builds, the joy of creating something from nothing, and the eternal question - are adults who buy LEGO sets just big kids or savvy collectors?

Naturally, things take a turn. Cue a deep dive into board games: classics like Monopoly and Scrabble, modern strategy hits, and the weird psychology behind why some people flip tables when they lose. The guys explore why board games are booming again, the rise of “designer games,” and whether digital gaming will ever kill the magic of cardboard and dice.

It’s funny, fiery, and packed with tangents, from LEGO economics to the social politics of game night. If you’ve ever argued over who gets to be the banker or spent hours building a LEGO Millennium Falcon, this one’s for you.

Fresh off their epic road trip, Adam and Kyle are back in the studio, still buzzing from many hours of uninterrupted conversation and a detour into Star Wars heaven. They kick things off by recapping their visit to Bunker, a two-floor Star Wars store packed with vintage collectibles, rare figurines, and enough nostalgia to make any fan weak at the knees. From £2,500 action figures to the thrill of filming a YouTube exclusive, the guys share behind-the-scenes stories and why this trip felt like a proper lads’ getaway (minus the booze and bad decisions).

But in true Continuum fashion, the chat veers wildly, from hotel tea disasters and Nigella Lawson flashbacks to a fiery debate on celebrity chefs, Michelin-star pretentiousness, and why a £40 steak should never taste like a £7 one. There’s sauce talk (blue cheese vs. hollandaise), burger love, and even a horror story involving barbecue bristles and emergency surgery.

Just when you think it’s over, the conversation pivots to microplastics, recycling myths, and the billion-dollar question: will LEGO ever go eco-friendly? Spoiler: probably not. It’s raw, funny, and packed with tangents - the perfect Continuum cocktail.
