“There isn’t anyone else in the hobby making stuff like susd. There talents shouldn’t be wasted talking about cardboard tbh, I’m so grateful they do though. There passion got me into gaming.”

“For years I had to hide my love of board games. Then this pod happened and made them cool again. Not only is that enough to warrant 5-stars, but their opening my eyes to hundreds of new games cements that 5-star, must listen, podcast review.”

“I was a bit late to the SUSD party, but I have been listening for over a year now, and I look forward to every installment. The banter is witty and pleasant, and never digresses too much from the task at hand. The reviews and commentary are thoughtful, and while YMMV, I have found that their...”Read full review »

“But this show is full of great humour and insight. I really like looking through the back episodes. There are in-depth conversations about game designs—not just bird games, but also TTRPGs, and also unusual games like water gun assasination.”

“Well, I really like this podcast, and the YouTube videos too. I just have one problem and that is that the hosts have a bit too much of a tendency to chase controversy and hate on universally loved games. The fact that they DIDN’T recommend Root, but gave the SEAL OF APPROVAL to Turncoats, a...”Read full review »

“There are many other podcasts with the same goals as this one, and many do it well. Why did I feel compelled to come write a review for this already very successful podcast instead of helping out someone smaller? Ava has recently recorded a pair of innovative and completely unexpected...”Read full review »

“I’ve been a fan of the show for a while, but their banter is getting a bit salty.. hope they bring in some new voices (maybe some more diversity? Diversity in game tastes?)
The general vibe I get is aggressive gamer and it’s worn on me.”

“SU&SD are the best, easily. They’re smart, funny, and very great at articulating what makes a game good or bad, though I do wish that they would take some critical takes on board games or the industry as a whole. I understand why they take the extremely approachable stance to board games on...”Read full review »

The podcast translates well and I have enjoyed returning back to the earlier eps and listening to the evolution of the podcast. Just about started on 2014 episodes and felt I needed to...”Read full review »

“Dropped. They have moved so far beyond games that I think they need to get into general journalism and get real jobs. They use games to push a woke agenda. They virtue signal so badly that they can’t see their own hypocrisy in it. This is NOT what I want in game coverage.”

“The amount of thought put into their reviews is incredible and they still have energy to be very funny and even thought provoking when considering topics like the impact of the hobby on the environment, the messiness of history in a game’s theme and the business aspect of board gaming. Always...”Read full review »

“A great in depth, entertaining podcast on a wide variety of board games. Some light, some heavy, mostly good, sometimes bad. The emphasis is on games that are worth your time, described by smart British folk who have a knack for making the movement of bits sound fun.”

“These awesome people create the best content all about aboard games that’s out there. I guess a good point is that I really enjoy listening to them even if the game does not interest me at all just because they have such a good vibe and are able to paint pictures with their words.”

“I find the stance "we want more people to play games" is not good enough. People won't get into the hobby if all you recommend are games that last two plays.
They need to cover good games and for that they need to play them more than once or even 5 times.

“I love listening to this podcast. I went through withdrawals during Christmas while they took a much needed break. They are funny, informative and they give honest opinions about games and why they did or did not like it. The latest episode with Rodney had a great point, what I find fun and what...”Read full review »

Excellent coverage, always warm and funny, and - unlike a lot of...”Read full review »

Their passion and humour shines...”Read full review »
