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.
Chris and Andrew speak clearly, have fun, and a pleasure to listen to. Great board game podcast.
Rolling dice, bold moves,
Voices share secrets of play,
Board joy fills the air.
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!
Many podcasts have come and gone through the years on my subscribed list, but Board Gamers Anonymous remains! I have listened to all 500+ episodes and can attest it is worth it. Great format and discussion, providing excitement and insight year after year. Thank you Chris and Anthony!
