The Best Board Game Podcast- Hands Down
I came across this show several months ago, quite by accident. I was looking for reviews of some board games that had caught my eye, but I knew nothing about. I listened to their review of Red Rising, bought the game, loved it, I have kept coming back for more ever since. The key is the fact that Tim, Chris, and Adam are friends, not just cohosts. They are critical of the games they play, but in the way those of us who are just fans of board games are critical, not from the perspective of a designer, or a publisher, or someone who plays competitively. Those things may seem small, but they make a huge difference and make this particular board game podcast feel like no other I’ve listened to. And finally, since everything is a apparently a competition in this hobby: although I respect each host for what they bring to the show, Chris, for his amazing ability to pair a boardgame with a cocktail and his near flawless record of sharing opinions on particular games as me, is my personal favorite host - finally scoring a point in the face of the recent surge for Tim and Adam. Thanks to all of you. My wallet has suffered since I became a fan of the show, but the joy the games I’ve bought because your recommendations has been well worth it.

Just starting back into the hobby. I have been looking for new games to play, while I don’t always agree with their opinions, they give me an honest opinion that I definitely helps. Adam has the sultry voice that makes me happy to listen to multiple episodes in a row.

I’ve listened to countless gaming podcasts and find it has the best formula for content, symmetry, and production. To the point but with a touch of opinion and humour. Great chemistry. Thanks gentlemen.

I really like the concept of this show, especially since opinions can change on multiple plays. They also aren’t afraid to be critical of the games that didn’t hit the spot. Very easy sub. Well done on a great show
