  • Top Tier Board Game Podcast!

    Up there in the top tier of board game podcasts. Superbly produced (the best imo) with hosts that have great chemistry and aren’t afraid to hold back on their honest opinions on games. The drafts are a great alternative to “top 10” lists also. Just a really enjoyable listen!

  • Absolute favorite

    My absolute favorite board game podcast. The chemistry amongst the hosts is stellar, even if they are not fans of Terraforming Mars. 😉 if you like euro games, this is the podcast for you. One of the rare podcasts that I listen to every bit of every episode.

  • If Tina Turner played Brass

    Simply the best podcast if you’re into medium-heavy board games. The hosts give off a great warm vibe while having excellent taste in games, and the banter never seems mean spirited, but is still entertaining and funny. Whole heartedly recommend it!
