The games included in the episode appear in the title. If you are... more

    My favorite board game podcast by a mile! I look forward to each episode and love the long format. I always laugh out loud, sometimes getting stares from people in public. I’ve also bought some great games based on their thorough reviews. Keep up the awesome work!
