Interesting take on board games
Fun to listen to. Never thought much about the ideas behind a board game. This podcast lets me look at my games differently
Thoughtful, informative, well-done
I really like this show. The real-life look at popular game inspirations is a great angle, and I always learn something from these guys. They produce their show well and make sure to keep things breezy and interesting. Recommended for any tabletop fan who enjoys a little knowledge with their gaming!
Like the new energy.
I enjoy this one. Keeps getting better.
