Boards Alive is a podcast where we talk about tabletop games. Our goal is to show that tabletop gaming can be just as exciting and engaging as Hollywood movies or big budget video games. We try to highlight games that have a rich theme that connects with the mechanics of the game. We want to help people escape into tabletop games and enjoy the competition and camaraderie of gaming.

Good times

Another great podcast with great hosts. Part of the reason I need my kid Quinton was because of the show.

Best gamer couple podcast

It’s DATENIGHT! Lindsae and Aaron have wonderful chemistry and create a sub-podcast of this podcast that really is the star of the show. Would love a separate stream of it’s datenight. Some of my favorite things: Lindsae’s witty bombastic and risqué sense of humor, Aaron’s ability to step in and step back with comments (as a guy, I know it’s tough for us to not interrupt others, and commandeer conversations, and for this iteration of the waning patriarchy, he is pretty good!), Aaron’s self-deprecating sense of humor and bad sex jokes, Lindsae’s ability to articulate what she likes and doesn’t like in a game, Aaron’s game descriptions. Please do a live show in New York so I can take my wife for our own DATENIGHT! Thank you for your hard work.
