Customer Reviews
One of my favorites
They don’t just provide awesome board game reviews, they’re also actively supporting inclusiveness in the board game community.
Big fan, hoping for better audio balance
Great high energy podcast for fans of board games. I love the short format where only a few games and one topic is usually covered. Keeps the discussion focused and never drags. Only criticism is that audio balance has always been an issue. Intro/outright is really loud compared to the regular conversation. Crystals mix has always been clearer and louder, Ambie’s mic always sounds a little muffled and lower volume than Crystal.
New to Blitz!
Just started listening, but love the quick yet concise reviews and hijinks!
