What gaming podcasts have been missing
This podcast has quickly moved to the top of my list; when a new one is published, I stop whatever else I was listening to and listen to Heavy Cardboard all the way through. This is a terrific podcast that takes its time exploring, in solid detail, games most other podcasts just gloss over. It’s engaging, serious, and useful. Props to these gentlemen for bucking the trend of covering every new game as quickly as possible, and instead focusing for a long time on a single, meaty game. They’re entertaining and informed, and I hope they continue doing what they’re doing for a long time. The most fascinating part about the podcast is how they explore, for roughly an hour, their feature game. They don’t do a rules run-through - the hour is spent purely analyzing mechanisms, strategic implications, and depth of play. It’s the most rigorous examination of heavy strategy games I know of in a recurring podcast, and the hour flies by. Keep doing the excellent work, gentlemen.

Great show, very professionally done. Good format, very informative and good dynamic between the hosts. Helps that they like the same style of games as me and have many same thoughts that I do :) Paul Grogan, Gaming Rules!

It's rare to find regular content that covers heavy games with any kind of depth, and it's even rarer for that kind of content to be interesting and entertaining, which this podcast is.Read full review »

Finally a podcast devoted to the heavier side of gaming. While there are several good podcasts devoted to board gaming in general, this is the best one for fans of Le Havre, Vinhos, Tzolk'in, Kanban, etc. As a huge euro fan, I'm glad I found this.Read full review »
