Welcome. Sit down. Have a cup of tea. We are about to take you on a gentle relaxing stroll through a beautiful garden of trees with a game that is anything but gentle and relaxing and may leave you rocking back and forth in a corner somewhere muttering about ones and eights. That’s right, it’s time to review Arboretum.
Included are a few audio grabs from movies that match the classic feel of the game (and may mention trees) in case you want to end your board game night with a themed show and need some ideas.
The audio grabs in this episode are from:
- Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)
- Back to the Future Part II (1989)
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
- It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)

We like to give you a little bit more in our podcast than just a review so for all review episodes we will be including a few audio grabs from movies and TV shows that match the theme of the game in case you want to end your board game night with a show and need some ideas. Of course this will be a little trickier with some of the more abstract games but we will do our best. (This episode is an example of a very abstract theme.) The audio clips will always be listed in the podcast show notes in case you don’t recognise them.
The audio grabs in this episode are from:
- The Video Board Game Nightmare (1991)
- Billy Madison (1995)
- Shrek (2001)
- Oliver & Company (1988)
