Customer Reviews
Informative
Very informative and entertaining! A must-listen for fans of tabletop games.
Great boardgame information
They have a great podcast! They can be found on so many platforms and send out an email with updates. Really good insight into the boat gaming hobby
Focus on gaming experience makes this show unique
Lots of tabletop podcasts out there, but what I appreciate about Moe and Sean is their mission to improve your gaming experience. It’s not just about reviews or interviews (although there are those). The hosts are dialed in on making sure you and your group have fun. They talk about marching games to the group and situation, organizing and hosting, gaming in public, and avoiding (or handling) issues. An essential companion to the podcasts about design and mechanics, because it puts those discussions in the context of real-world play cultures. Hosts are friendly and chatty, but very well prepared — they do their research and deliver lots of organized and useful info.
