I wish I had found this podcast sooner. I’ve been binge listening and love learning about all ends of the board gaming industry. Really great.
As a game designer, this is my favorite podcast right now. Listened to a recent episode - loved it - and now working my way through all of the episodes. Really good and practical information for someone trying to “break in” to the board game industry, be you a designer, developer or publisher. Highly recommended.
Entertaining podcast that helps you do just what it says on the box :-).
Great resource for anyone interested in the board game industry!
I listen to 5 board game podcasts weekly, and this one is one of my favorite every week! Great job! Great podcast!
I've enjoyed all the episodes up to this point. I like the interviews, insider tips, and opinions. Highly recommended.
Very interesting first episode, and the hosts know their stuff. I look forward to hearing episodes of this podcast.
Been using gaming podcasts as my mentors for getting into game design myself the past three months. These guys, like podcasts Ludology and Game Design Round Table offer their own perspective on the creation and business of games. Can't wait to see where they go with this. Through their conversations I'll continue to think about my own path eventually getting published.
