“A consistently upbeat, thoughtful, and informative tour of new Eurogames, though the married hosts never, ever have a strong disagreement about anything, so you're really just getting one voice, with the other being fairly redundant. The dry recitations of game mechanisms can become old after a...”Read full review »

“There are two main reasons to love Garrett's podcast if you're into games. The first is the casual and conversational tone of the podcast - whether alone or with guests, you feel like he's just sitting in your living room telling you about what games he's played. His comments are constructive and...”Read full review »
