“Hi and thank you for a great podcast!
I’ve played some board games during my life, with focus on early 2000’s eurogames like Catan, Caracassone and so on. Magic the Gathering have been with me for a large portion of my life, but during recent years with small children I haven’t prioritized...”Read full review »

“I’ve been a listener for nearly two years, and there’s no better board game podcast out there. As someone who listens to quite a few, the main thing that makes BGHT stand out is the tightness of the episodes, which are short, sweet, and to the point—without sacrificing any depth or fun. I don’t...”Read full review »

“My current favorite board games podcast. The reviews are very easy to understand and they have made me purchase way too many games. The banter between them is great and it reinforces my thought that playing board games is one of the best social experiences you can have. I will listen for as long...”Read full review »

“This is without doubt the best board game podcast out there and there are many. These guys are great and here’s why:-
1/ No corporate stooge. They tell you how it is. If it’s bad they say, if it’s great, they say. They also highlight all elements and give an informed opinion
2/ They have great...”Read full review »

“The fresh (hot) takes on games helps give a great honest impression of the games. They feel more relatable than many sponsored reviewers. I’ve only listened to 10 episodes since I found them a couple days ago, but am sure to visit the backlog. I know these podcasts take effort, but I’m very...”Read full review »

“I’d like to rate this higher but 1/3 of the hosts records his voice a few decibels above a whisper. The content is meaningless if you can’t hear what’s being said and constantly toggling with my own volume is annoying.”

One important question; what is the “this” in “right after this”, just the music part or do you do adreads on other platforms?”
