There are SO many podcasts about board games, but so few that feature us! Join Natalie, Jeff and Ryan as we discuss new games we've recently played. Listen to our unique segments like the Board game Beatdown, where we take a super popular game and read all the lowest rated BGG comments it has, or the Instagram Inbox where we ask for participation from our listeners on social media. We also usually play some sort of game that you can play along with, and we always end the show with a Top 5 list! There is a lot of content, discussion and laughter packed into every episode. Come join in the fun every other Sunday!!!
