Hex & Kettle Subscribe

We play Catan, talk about it for an hour, and keep the kettle on.

Hex & Kettle is a board game podcast with a pot of tea on the table. Strategy, rules arguments, and stories from games that went sideways. You don't need to own the box.

Every episode starts with a roll.

Two dice pick the segment. The odds are the same as on the board: 6 and 8 come up most, 2 and 12 almost never. A 7 means the robber gets the floor. Try it.

    We talk about opening placements, trades that should not have happened, and the one rule everyone at the table remembers differently. When we're wrong, we check the rulebook on air.

    If you've never traded wheat for a sheep, we explain as we go. If you've played for years, there's plenty to argue with.
