  • Qualified and Unique

    This quickly became my favorite board game pod. Gamers taking games that have enough experience their perspectives matter. Sprinkled with history and crunch and we have a winner. Great content!!

  • Great podcast with extremely intelligent insight

    AoB is my go-to to get a really deep understanding of what makes games work (or not!) The content is very approachable and covers a wide variety of types of games. It helps me understand the underpinnings of the games I love, and has suggestions for more I'd like to try.

  • Very deep podcast about the history of the hobby

    These guys are avid gamers who each have an independent and interesting POV. Each episode covers a narrow slice of the hobby and cover both the styles of games and a detailed history of releases ( having come of age in the 70s, I am often left with a touch of nostalgia) up to the current year and they have play experience with most of them. more

  • Just what I was looking for

    If you prefer boardgame podcasts to include discussions about craft beers, whiskey, super hero movies, pop music, or early childhood gaming, this podcast might not be for you. Ascent of Board Games is a thoughtful and thorough discussion about games and game history from a group of adults who know their stuff. I really hope they're able to sustain the quality output.
