Jason and Joel talk about their love of boardgames and why you shouldn't be "board" with games. Weekly features include news, what we have been playing, and a feature.
The Boardgame Mechanics podcast is a great concept that appeals to both fans of gaming and amateur game designers. Hosted by Katie and Jason, each episode covers a variety of topics, from the latest kickstarters to random games they have played, all while exploring different themes. The show is both enjoyable and informative, with the hosts discussing dozens of games per episode in digestible pieces. As a fan of games, this podcast provides valuable insights into different concepts and mechanics. One downside is that it can be overwhelming to hear about so many great games and deciding which ones to buy. Overall, Katie and Jason's chemistry shines through and their love for boardgames is evident in each episode.
One of the best aspects of The Boardgame Mechanics podcast is its wide variety of game coverage. Hosts Katie and Jason avoid making listeners feel bad for liking games they don't enjoy themselves, providing a fair shot to every type of game across the spectrum. They keep the show light-hearted and never let it run too long, making it an enjoyable experience for listeners. Additionally, their use of sound effects adds an extra layer of entertainment.
On the downside, some listeners may struggle to keep track of the games being discussed during the podcast. Katie and Jason sometimes only mention a game's name once, which can make it difficult to follow along when listening in the car or without the ability to rewind easily. However, this minor issue does not take away from the overall quality and enjoyment provided by the podcast.
In conclusion, The Boardgame Mechanics podcast is a fun and informative show that covers a wide range of boardgames. Hosts Katie and Jason have great chemistry and provide valuable insights into different game concepts and mechanics. While there may be some small issues with keeping track of game names during discussions, this does not detract from the overall quality of the podcast. If you're looking for an entertaining boardgame podcast that keeps you informed about new games and offers witty banter, The Boardgame Mechanics is highly recommended.
