  • 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!
