    Meeple.

    — Meeple who?

    Meeple love great podcasts… and yours is top of the stack.

    I have been listening to you guys for years from little Belgium. You have helped shape my board game collection.

    Hate to see Anthony go but hope BGA cab continue.

  • Compelled to be stupid

    I voted for ICE.

    You support criminals and are compelled to voice your ignorance about politics on your podcast then do it without me.

    Hope you grow up someday. Gl.

  • Great listen

    Really enjoy listening to this podcast, the hosts are great at breaking down their opinions and always happy to admit when a game isn’t for them as opposed to it being a bad game. I really enjoy hearing about board game academics and would love for them to include more on that in the podcast itself. Thanks for the episodes!
