(Dancia  - Board Games)   In this episode, I had the honour of having Dancia as my guest. They shared with me their interest in board games as their hobby.   Definition: Board games are tabletop games that typically use pieces. These pieces are moved or placed on a pre-marked board (playing surface) and often include elements of table, card, role-playing, and miniatures games as well. Many board games feature a competition between two or more players. To show a few examples: in checkers (British English name 'draughts'), a player wins by capturing all opposing pieces, while Eurogames often end with a calculation of final scores. Pandemic is a cooperative game where players all win or lose as a team, and peg solitaire is a puzzle for one person.Wikipedia contributors. (2024, May 14). Board game.

(Connor - Oil Painting)   In this episode, I had the honour of having Connor as my guest. He shared with me his interest in oil painting as his hobby.   Definition: Oil painting is a painting method involving the procedure of painting with pigments with a medium of drying oil as the binder.

The advantages of oil for painting images include "greater flexibility, richer and denser colour, the use of layers, and a wider range from light to dark". But the process is slower, especially when one layer of paint needs to be allowed to dry before another is applied. Wikipedia contributors. (2024, February 13). Oil painting.
