“Here’s the thing. I used to really love this show. I still think that the board game chat and info is great. I backed Transcontinental because of these guys. Barrage is my #1 game of all time because of these guys. The thing is, I just can’t handle Tom anymore. It started with his infamous show with Jennifer where he talked over her for 2 hours. Outside of that, he’s just always come off as smug and, frankly, annoying. I feel bad saying it, truly. But then I started listening to the Brian Boru podcast this week and just had to turn it off after the first 90 seconds of Toms terrible Irish accent that he says he is entitled to do because of his Irish heritage. When I realized it wasn’t stopping after the first 2 minutes, I had to call it. I’m sorry, I hope I’m not being unfair. I love board games and I really used to love this podcast. I love Trey and Matt and Dmitry and the gang, and Tom is very knowledgeable, but he’s the Karen of boardgaming, and I just can’t anymore. Sorry :/
Update: I came back to give these guys another shot, cause it has the potential to be a really great podcast. Trey and others seem to be taking the helm more often, which is a breath of fresh air. When they focus on boardgames and boardgame-adjacent topics, this podcast is an easy 5 star. Dmitry’s philosophizing is worth it alone. Everything in the Libertalia episode was great! Except for Tom whinging about why he didn’t win at Avalon for 10 minutes, and correcting other people every time they say anything. About anything. Which annoyed me for all the same reasons quoted above ^^^. Upgrading my rating to 3 stars. Cut out the Avalon whining and it’s 5 stars.”

“Accessible, entertaining and extremly educational if you're into the board gaming hobby.
Matthew and his Gaming Group started out great which is not an easy thing to do with a new Podcast.
I have no doubt that the content will stay great or get even better.”Read full review »

“Couldn’t seem to interact in their Facebook group without some other member (or host/admin) jumping me. I appreciate the work they put into the podcast but it and the Facebook group don’t feel, “welcoming” to me. It all seemed very much, “this is what we think and you should feel honored to hear...”Read full review »
