  • Best board game podcast!

    I came across this podcast when just starting to get into the hobbies back in early 2024 and haven’t stopped listening since. One downside is that they don’t release a podcast frequently enough for me.

192 - Feya's Swamp, Gunsen The Battle for Toshi Ranbo, Trials of Maya, and Symbiosis
Q: Would Castles of Burgundy or any other classic of the same era reach the same level of success if released today?
The consensus is that marketing and visibility would be much more pivotal now; organic growth could still occur but would rely heavily on modern social media and influencer networks to create a snowball effect.
