  • Lots to like, one annoying flaw.

    Really like the structure of this podcast. The content is relevant and insightful. There is also an appropriate amount of banter to introduce each episode. The only thing I have trouble with is one of the hosts. My biggest pet peeve in any podcast is audio. Cam often sounds like he’s cleaning up his room while talking, alternately moving away from and then close to his mic—sometimes so soft I can barely hear him and then suddenly shouting directly into the mic so loudly it distorts my speakers! ... more

  • Fantastic Podcast

    The Board Boys Podcast is my favorite board game podcast. They do a great job explaining the theme and mechanics of a game in a concise way. When I am done listening to the main segment I have a good idea if it is a game I want to try or not. The banter is great! They bring some silliness and laughs to the show. I also like how they play and talk about a variety of games. From the hotness to older games, to heavy euros and party games. Give them a listen for a few episodes.

  • Really good board game podcast. Clear explanations of games and good depth discussion of pros/prons/cons.

    Right length too, please don't lengethen it further like other pods!

    Only criticism is the silly theme music, its unnecessary, annoying and too loud so I have to skip each time to avoid earache. Otherwise it's great!

Season 19, Episode 2 - Kingdom Crossing
Q: How do the three games Rally Roll, Comeback, and Rip Chip embody the '15 Minutes Fun and Done' concept?
Each game is designed to be completed in a short session, uses accessible rules, remains portable, and emphasizes quick decisions with meaningful payoffs and social interaction, making them suitable for casual play and family settings.
Season 19, Episode 2 - Kingdom Crossing
Q: Reyn, why did you decide to launch three dice games under your own label instead of continuing to partner with larger companies?

Season 17, Episode 7 - Terrorscape
Q: So Alex, can you talk a little bit about the process as a designer, getting a game found up?
Every crowdfunding campaign has been different, focusing on communicating with content creators and refining the aesthetics.
