I enjoy listening to Andrew and Anitra talk about what games they enjoy playing with their family. Many of their suggestions I have purchased and played with my family and club at school. Green Team wins and Just One have been 2 of the hits. I also like the look back each month to see what they have played and how many games they played. Thank you for the content and I can’t wait to enjoy the next 350 episodes.
This is a great podcast for anyone who is getting into board games or is already an avid gamer. They recommend GREAT games and put a lot of care and love into their hobby and all the family gamers stuff (written reviews, SNAP reviews which are little videos reviewing a small game-in a snap, and the podcast.) As a podcaster myself I know how hard it is to keep up a 10 minute fiction podcast, let alone an hour long gaming podcast that comes out every Monday (well, it used to, now it’s bi weekly, and I’m sure we can all understand that.) overall great podcast! 5 stars, listen!
I’ve been listening to this podcast for several years now and it’s always entertaining and informative. My kids are unfortunately not into board games too much but I still enjoy hearing about new games from the family perspective and once in a while, I hear of games that the kids will play.
This is such a great podcast for anyone who is interested in table top games and has kids or likes those types of games. The format allows for good discussion and reviews as well as input form the community. The podcast is one I look forward to coming out each two weeks . A must listen for anyone with a family that games or is looking at getting into the hobby.
This podcast alternates between interview shows (i.e. a guest from the board gaming industry (including other podcasters) or other family- and gaming-adjacent media (e.g. video games)) and topical shows (top 5 lists, explaining gaming genres or terminology, etc.). Hosts Andrew and Anitra have three kids and talk about games they play with their children and with others, along with the experience of being board gamers. They are so honest and relatable, it’s fun to listen to them. They put out a lot of good content and are well worth listening to.
Andrew and Anitra do an incredible job of reviewing family games and providing thoughtful analysis of why games worked for them. Additionally, Anitra seems to have a special talent for identifying a games audience and gamer fit. The consistency of this show sets it apart. The interviews and “snap” reviews are something I look forward to hearing!!
The Family Gamers have their finger on the pulse of comprehensive family gaming. For gamers with families of all ages, the content is useful, practical, and applicable, and the production is top notch.
I would need at least five hands to count the amount of times that my family has enjoyed a game recommended by The Family Gamers. Their podcast is well edited/produced and enjoyable to listen to. They often have interesting guests as well. If you are in a gaming slump, need a new game, or simply just want to listen to an enjoyable podcast....check out TFG. They also have a great website full of great game reviews and overviews. If they say something is good. It is worth your consideration.
I love how these two gamers compliment one another so well!! Great show!
Love how thoughtful they are about games and everything that goes with them. Game Reviews through family and adult lenses.
