Customer Reviews
Like hanging out with a couple of good buds
I’ve been listening to the show since it first started, which happened to coincide with me becoming a dad.
I really enjoy the show. James and Sanchez have a natural camaraderie, and it really does just feel like hanging out with a group of friends, discussing games together. I’ve especially loved watching them discover train themed boardgames and get more and more into them as the show progresses, to the point where they now have a monthly shower specifically about those games.
All in all, I highly recommend the show, and I listen to new episodes as soon as they drop every single time!
