    Fun personalities and fun idea pitting 2 board games with similarities head to head in a battle rating in different categories. Interesting and insightful opinions come out of the battle. Well done. Thank you.

  • Never again was hilarious

    I laughed a lot listening to the groups horror stories.

    My biggest disappointments are the Firefly game (too long and almost no player interaction) and War of the Ring (which by the time I learned how to setup the board all I wanted to do was put it away)

  • My Number 1b Podcast

    This is my 1b for my favorite podcast. BGHT is 1a. The hosts are great with valuable insights. They have convinced me to try and buy a few games based on their opinions. I love that they tell you the current cost as well as ways to deluxify your copy. Currently working my way through the catalogue. Keep up the great work.

The host, the wildcard, has a theatrical narrative tone that was great and fun to listen to. We couldn’t stop laughing at the goofy noob’s comments as we think she’s a... more
