“This show is my favorite board game podcast. I feel too many shows focus on reviews and only tackling the new and the hot. TGiB focuses on the fun first. All of the hosts, both past and present, are amazing and funny. It is always a highlight of my day when it drops and I cannot recommend enough!”

“I love this show. I am late coming to the show, just started listening two months ago but now I am going back to listen to all the episodes. I could listen to this show all day! The games are interesting and well thought out, the humor is effortless and witty. I am just going to be sad when I...”Read full review »

“I cannot explain to you how much fun this show is. This is the best board gaming podcast that’s also not really about board games. I listen to a lot of podcast, several board game podcasts, and this is by far the best one. Whenever I need a good laugh THIS is the show I turn to.”

“That’s it. That’s the review. I was a late fan of the NPR quiz show, and I am a late fan of This Game Is Broken. If this relation has been made, I apologize for repetition, but it really IS the boardgame equivalent of that quiz show, and it’s HILARIOUS!”

“I just saw a previous reviewer whose review was titled “Asenine,” followed up with “Nuff said.” This review was a 1. I would like repeat the sentiment with a rating of 5. Asenine. Nuff said. 5 Stars.”

“This show leaves me confused. Is it the most brilliant thing that’s ever come to Board Game media? Or is it the sad window into the lives of five humans staring into the eyes of Cthulhu and slowly giving into their own insanity....? The world will never know.
Except if it is the later, it is...”Read full review »

“Easily one of my favorite podcasts! I am always looking for more board game based content to listen too and this show is great. The crew is funny and the content sets itself apart from all of the other board game podcasts out there. Thanks for keeping me entertained guys. Don’t stop!”

“So I was late to the party and just started listening to TGIB a few months ago when I was looking for something to make a long car trip seem shorter.
I binge listened (totally a thing) to all of the episodes and now just wait for a new one to come out every other week. The cast just fit so well...”Read full review »

“If you love the Saturday morning NPR quiz shows, board games, and sarcastic/sardonic/self-deprecating humor, you have to give this show a listen! I suggest listening to at least two episodes before deciding what you think, because a great part of the fun for me is appreciating the running gags...”Read full review »

“If Sir Dan Hughes would be the only host (no boring guesthosts) i would have given this 5 out of 5.
Dan is a genious and even looks like a greek statue. He also promised me some timeline promos for this review :)”

“This podcast rewards my board game fandom with inside jokes, trivia, and humor than only someone who spends hours a week on BGG would find funny. The hosts have great chemistry, but be warned that there are a few cuss words and the off-color jokes here and there.”

“If you are into board games and looking for an entertaining podcast- this is the one. There are a bunch of review style podcasts- dice tower should be the go-to there- but this is a nice break from the routine and still gives an idea of which games these guys love/hate.”

“There is a real need for podcasts that are game shows. For the game show to be based around board games makes it like inception. Crazy. The scoring within each game though is really what ties the show together. Without such an intricate and innovative scoring system, I think things would fall...”Read full review »

“A great comedy variety show that like the early trains in Britain were funny looking and scared the horses. (This is as much 18XX as I think the show will get).
