Customer Reviews
Informative and Fun
I had my own podcast about board games a while back, but it's success wasn't meant to be. After calling it quits, I was in search of board gaming podcasts that were close to what I was trying to do. To the point, concise and informative podcasts with their own uniques twist. Not just a group of friends who fill their show with never ending inside jokes and like the sound of their own voice.
Luckily, I found these guys, and although they are way more family friendly than my show was, the information on the games is solid and their personalities are relatable all the same. Meaning they make you feel like you could sit and play a game with them. Not a huge fan of the over exaggerated introduction voice they use, but otherwise, I really enjoy the way they approach games from the perspective of what skills you can learn while playing.
I know their thing is family weight games, but I've noticed they'ved dabbled into some heavier things lately. Maybe one day we'll get some bonus episodes featuring games that are on the next level from the family weight. Either way, keep up the great work, guys.
Insightful! For parents, teachers, and anyone who wants to play board games with kids.
Every week, Mike and Doug break down skills involved in a board game that they recommend. Educational concepts, skill-building, and difficulties are discussed, along with techniques to make learning easier and more fun.
Although the show can run a little long, the different segments that make up a show are all great.
Great insight and recommended games!
I’ve probably bought 20 games based on their recommendations! Such great insight into the educational opportunities these games utilize. I’ve gotten my extended family into the podcast and recommend it to coworkers and friends frequently! One thing in particular that I appreciate is they will give recommendations on age that don’t necessarily match up to the box recommendation. So helpful!
