Welcome to the First Player Token podcast, a board game review podcast for people who enjoy playing board games with family and friends. If you'd love to try a few new games, but you feel a little overwhelmed when you see the board game aisle at Target or Barnes & Noble, this podcast is for you.
In each episode, I recommend a game that's been a hit with my family or friends, sharing a bit about how the game plays, why it's fun, and why you might want to try it. Most episodes feature a special guest or two, maybe one of my children or a niece or nephew or my wife Emily, who provides color commentary. (She's a painter and has lots to say about the art and design in the games we play!) Episodes are geared for folks who aren't already into board gaming as a hobby; I don't assume you've played a lot of games or know the lingo. And episodes are short, usually around ten minutes, so you don't have to spend a lot of time getting a recommendation.
