Iain McAllister
Brainwaves Logo. The name Brainwaves in orange. On top of a black and white brain. The brain has lightning coming out of it. The background is blue.

With Oliver back from the Spiel des Jahres we have interviews with the winners, chat about the controversy, dive into finances, and lift up awards. Just another day at GB HQ as we bring you the best in tabletop gaming news.
