My favorite show on board games

“This is a great show that presents an important voice on board games in contrast to the industry trends of bloat, kickstarter excess, complexity without depth, and over-saturation of new games. The games these guys play are not only games that have fallen under the radar, they are often tense, interactive, light on rules, and deep on strategy. The show is also not just a glorification of past trends, and the hosts will rightfully critique games that don’t offer enough player agency, or utilize design elements that have rightfully fallen by the wayside.
The show also exhibits a number of qualities of good podcasts: likable hosts, good production values, the right balance of content to off-topic discussion to create a fuller picture of the hosts and guests as people, funny and insightful discourse, etc.
If you are a board game fan (and especially if you are new to the hobby), I highly recommend you give this show a listen, as it may develop your perception of the important qualities of board games, help you discover games and designers you almost certainly weren't aware of, and possibly cause you to analyze your own tastes in a more substantive way.”Read full review »

“It feels like 98% of board game-related media is all about the new hotness. Which is why Cameron, Jason, and Chris' premise of featuring older games or games that aren't in the hotness is actually a breath of fresh air. Just a few episodes in and I've already discovered a few games...”Read full review »
