  • Great show with awesome hosts!

    This show focuses on all things tabletop gaming and building the community that surrounds it. Donald and Eric are fun to listen to, very witty, and enjoy teaching others about board games and it certainly shows here. They are definately worth a listen, you will like what you find!
