Customer Reviews
Very Necessary podcast
Great show. I’m more of a board gamer but still love the video games shows as it is such an entertaining listen
Excellent
Love this podcast. Video game aspect is great and I have played a number of games I would never have considered before on their reviews. I have played very little table top games in the past but the guys have sparked my interest in wanting to try out the table top scene again. The banter is top class bringing the comedy value to each episode. Huge recommendation. Keep up the good work.
