Tim, Chris and Adam help me make my days fly by without even realizing I’m at work. The banter, the love of games, the different opinions, they have the best gaming podcast I’ve stumbled across. I drive garbage truck for a living so for the past few months I’ve been listening for at least 30 hours a week. They bring a wealth of information in an entertaining format. I loved the episode where you went to BGG con and talked about your adventures. I just joined pateron friend of the show becau... more
I love this podcast. 2 years of listening and still look forward to every Monday! I love when they have a guest player/voice on the show it’s cool to get a different take every few episodes. These guys have changed my outlook on games. I recently tried Ark Nova and Apiary based on this podcast. I love this podcast and listen to and from work everyday

Our nearest friendly local game store is nearly an hour away, and with both of us working two jobs—and being introverts—it’s hard to make the leap into in-person events. So while we wait for our board game crew to magically appear, we’ve found the next best thing: this podcast with Tim, Adam, and Chris.
Their conversations are everything we didn’t know we needed—thoughtful reviews, hilarious banter, ... more
Brilliant insights, honest reviews and banter for days.
Genuine friendship that shines through in so many ways.
Hot takes, Top 40, Guest stars, utter bliss.
Three awesome hosts, but I’m #TeamChris 😁
3 great personalities with 3 mostly different tastes in board games that brings knowledgeable information, insights and feedback on the the hotness, classics and more. Good variety of board gaming topics with my frequent favourites being top lists and game reviews. I would love to see dedicated episodes focusing on strategies in games (what works, what doesn’t) and maybe FAQ rules for heavier games especially. I picked up Darwin’s Journey and the firelands expansion recently and after 3 solo pla... more
