Boards Alive is a podcast where we talk about tabletop games. Our goal is to show that tabletop gaming can be just as exciting and engaging as Hollywood movies or big budget video games. We try to highlight games that have a rich theme that connects with the mechanics of the game. We want to help people escape into tabletop games and enjoy the competition and camaraderie of gaming.

I completely understand your need to step away from regular episodes but I love how you make me laugh and wish you were able to make more content. You guys are fantastic!
Another great podcast with great hosts. Part of the reason I need my kid Quinton was because of the show.
It’s DATENIGHT! Lindsae and Aaron have wonderful chemistry and create a sub-podcast of this podcast that really is the star of the show. Would love a separate stream of it’s datenight. Some of my favorite things: Lindsae’s witty bombastic and risqué sense of humor, Aaron’s ability to step in and step back with comments (as a guy, I know it’s tough for us to not interrupt others, and commandeer conversations, and for this iteration of the waning patriarchy, he is pretty good!), Aaron’s self-depre... more

Board game discussions with a warm, playful dynamic, focusing on family-friendly and lighter-to-midweight tabletop titles, with frequent guest co-hosts and real-world play anecdotes. Episodes emphasize teachability, accessibility for mixed-age groups, and how games fit into family game nights, camping trips, and casual get-togethers.
