One of the few board game podcasts about about games I love and the hosts completely ruin it by being insufferable jerks.
These guys are so down to earth and fun to listen to. I love the fact that they will be absolutely straight up about sucky games and speak honestly about them and just move on. Plus their taste in games is amazing.
To address the weaklings that may be offended by some of their comments on games… if you DO find yourself offended by their comments on games you love, you might just like sucky games, and that’s okay. You’re allowed to buy sucky games, play sucky games, etc… but let’s not blame DOA... more
I’ve been listening to the show since it first started, which happened to coincide with me becoming a dad.
I really enjoy the show. James and Sanchez have a natural camaraderie, and it really does just feel like hanging out with a group of friends, discussing games together. I’ve especially loved watching them discover train themed boardgames and get more and more into them as the show progresses, to the point where they now have a monthly shower specifically about those games.
All in all, I h... more
Very well thought out episodes with lots of fun bits. Definitely my favorite gaming podcast out there. Between the Choo Choo crew episodes, COIN collectors, and general episodes with lots of family games talk, there really is something for everyone here.
I have listened to three episodes and had to give up in the show. They embrace insulting and attacking in both the games that they play as well as the reviews they give games they don’t like.
The last show I listened to, and I couldn’t finish, as the one where they re-ranked the BGG top 20 games. Every time they came across a game they didn’t like, it was described as though it was trash.
The worst offenses, however, occurred when they reviewed a game they had never played. Any other po... more

A long-running board game show led by a core duo of dads who discuss heavy-hitting strategy games, long-form euros, and convention scenes, often weaving in personal anecdotes from gaming with family. Episodes frequently feature spirited debates about game design, reprints, and the hobby's evolving culture, with recurring themes around 18xx titles, Pax, and the balance between accessibility and depth. Noteworthy is the blend of warm camaraderie, community-driven segments, and occasional live con coverage, which gives listeners a sense of belonging to a like-minded gaming circle while still offering sharp opinions and practical tips for planning game groups and con participation.
