A podcast about all manner of hobby games by Mike Walker and Mark Bigney. Bad games don't go easy on you, so we don't go easy on them. Thorough analysis via reviews, news, and discussion of topics in gaming. We take context seriously, we value your time, and we're not into hype.

We generally frown on ad hominem here at SVWAG, ensconced as we are in our glass houses. In the case of Jean-Jacques Rousseau (known affectionately as "Ja-Jay" by no one), though, who wrote extensively about proper methods of childhood education, we ... more
I've read several different accounts of the battle of Sekigahara, and I swear there's no mention of Kevin Bacon or anyone bleaching their hair. How am I to know if Pony Boy stayed golden?

Absolutely one of the best board game podcasts around!! I have been listening for probably over five years now and I greatly appreciate their insight into gaming and efforts to make the hobby more inclusive!! Keep it up y’all!! You make my week better!!
Every word that comes out of Mark’s mouth fills the room with pompous arrogance. He makes you feel that having a differing option makes you less than. He definitely gets off by feeling like the smartest man in the room. He makes you feel like all the games you like are bad.
5/5 stars.
My favourite podcast for Board Games: The hosts are fun to listen to, they can dissect board games and its mechanism and themes like no other, they provide a well-structured and smooth show with regular updates on new board games.
I really appreciate that the hosts show and live by values such as transparency, democracy, solidarity. That seems like not worth mentioning but I personally really enjoy when people in the hobby show that they have opinions and values on issues around them.
This is the best show about board games, the industry, and the day-to-day experience of being a hobby board gamer. The hosts are not afraid to be honest, but when reacting poorly to a product or news event do it with a grace.
The only must listen podcast I recommend to folks about board games.
Listening SWAG for three years and waiting for coming Tuesday as new episode. Thank you guys
