    Well produced
    Chris and Andrew speak clearly, have fun, and a pleasure to listen to. Great board game podcast.
  • psteinke
    A haiku
    Rolling dice, bold moves, Voices share secrets of play, Board joy fills the air.
  • DrDrew007
    A must for Board Gamers!
    Many podcasts have come and gone through the years on my subscribed list, but Board Gamers Anonymous remains! I have listened to all 500+ episodes and can attest it is worth it. Great format and discussion, providing excitement and insight year after year. Thank you Chris and Anthony!
  • Travis Marie
    Out of the dozen or so board game pods I listen to, this is the best
    Something about these guys! Love their personalities and takes
  • FarmButcherMatty
    Absolutely love the podcast.
    I love the format and their interactions with the community.
  • AllAboardGamer
    Sick of non-gaming nonsense
    I’ve realized that non-gaming, woke nonsense in my podcasts’ list is unwelcome. Dropped.
  • Johnsonrocks2
    Again
    Show is good, but for the love of god stop saying “again” so much!
  • traingame entusiast
    Interesting and well done
    Great podcast. I find that my tastes and Anthony’s are quite close which makes this a must listen for me. My only complaint is that they often state the game title so fast and never repeat it that I sometimes miss which game they are talking about. That said, I am a stray and enthusiastic listener.
  • BGHT Tim
    Covers a lot of games in a short period of time
    These guys are my first go to podcast every week because I know I’ll get a lot of great content quickly.
  • Malte Brigge
    Restate the game names!
    Could you guys start restating the name of the game after you’ve talked about it? Sometimes you breeze through the name of the game, talk about it for ten minutes, and then say, “cool game” and move on. Please restate the name of the game at the end of the spiel! Basic rhetorical courtesy. Thanks!
  • SushiMonster555
    Good Stuff
    Like I said, good stuff. Fun flow and goooft guys and games, did I mention? Give it a listen!
  • themeparkster
    Informative podcast for the old and new
    I only got into podcasts two days ago. Wanted something to listen to while at work. Came across this channel and tuned into their top 100 list. It was extremely well done, but I needed the top 100 in print since i wont remember all of them in my head. Did a little search on the web, and saw that these guys were also from staten island! In fact i have gamed with these friendly dudes before. What a small world! They had taught and introduced me to loveletter. Bought my own copy after that. Nephew loved it so i gave it to him then bought myself a 2nd copy.
  • Chase Robinson
    Love this 'cast
    I was looking for a podcast about board gaming that was fun and interesting, and especially where the hosts share some of my views and interests. I think this was the fourth or fifth one I tried and after a single episode I knew I found a winner. I listen to current episodes while also burning through the backlog, as much of the info is still relevant. The current members of this 'cast are knowledgable, fun, and interesting.
  • rabies66
    Great Content, Iffy Sound Quality
    I really enjoy this podcast and the host's take on board gaming. The format is interesting, fast moving and never boring. I have to ding it a star for the sound quality, however. Often the recording is so low that I can barely hear it in my car even with the volume on my stereo cranked to max. It's frustrating because otherwise this is one of my favorite gaming podcasts.
  • P@rick From Southie
    Great Show (minus the mouth breather)
    Great Show. Nice reviews and very informative. One star deduction for the "mouth breather". For the love of god, whoever it is, hit mute when not talking - LOL. Once you hear it, you cant unhear it. Very distracting
  • Dave'sTheRave
    This one
    Very enjoyable podcast, with a nice consistent format from week to week. Enjoy hearing the different viewpoints and voices. They talk as much about gaming as they do about games. I noticed the episodes are starting to get longer than their usual 60 minutes. Well, as long as they continue to have good content, I won't mind.
  • IIIPegLegIII
    Is he wearing headgear?
    Well done show. Pacing is good, keeps me engaged throughout. One star deduction for one host's annoying voice.
  • Birano1976
    A nice mix of topic areas
    Each week they talk about the games in the news, things they want to buy and a specific top 10 or some such that is of interest. A great podcast for newbies and oldies of the tabletop world. multiple thumbs up
  • tophermay
    Great board gaming podcast!
    I love what you guys are doing! Great, interesting podcast. You are knowledgable, funny and you have enough differences of opinion for interesting conversation. Hope you all keep up the great work!
  • Traderges CA
    Love the show
    Great info for a newbie to the hobby like me. Glad I found your podcast however my must haves have grown out of control. My local game store owes you guys huge commissions. Keep up the great work.
  • Kajo13
    Funny and informative
    Super funny! And a female perspective is a first in gaming podcasts. Thanks Kim! Chris and Dan have great comedy chemistry. I learned a lot about the world of gaming from Anthony.
  • Chris Klarmann
    Good show
    Good game analysis, interesting banter. Watch out Howard Stern.
  • App pirate
    The FOG OF WAR is cleared
    A MUST SUBSCRIBE Podcast!!! Not only do they go over the game play, but they describe game play details that make sense to a newb like me. And the wide variety of game styles and types (deck builder vs. coop play vs. tiles) that are discussed fluently (!) and in a down to earth way helps to seek out new games. It helped me by listening to the episodes twice so I didn't miss any of the nuggets of these experienced Board Gamers drop like PEZ. p.s. go to MYRIAD GAMES on S.I.
  • vikingtunics
    Excellent!
    Just found this podcast - really great! Good reviews and good chemistry among the group. Excellent variety of games discussed, both old & new. Now if I could only find a miniature wargaming podcast this good. Only downside is the really loud music at the end LOL.
  • F.John.C
    A lot of fun.
    Good reviews for cool games
  • ESD70
    Awesome podcast
    This is an awesome podcast with great people like Dan Simmons and his crew running it's one of my fave and it should be for all of us whom are proud to be a geek at times
  • Aris24 💇
    Awesome
    Very nice ! Good job guys !!!!
  • Nisejack
    Podcast with several voices
    The podcast offers lots of information on a variety if games and game types. The hosts are always quick to respond to listener requests and questions. It is interesting to listen as they discuss games that are not always their preferred game type but may be well designed and popular games.
  • CC thats my cat
    Something new for board game players!
    They are new but they seem to have the interest and the enthusiasm to stick around! It's nice to hear new voices and opinions about the hobby and having a girl that knows what she is talking about makes me even happier since I know I am not alone in this lol.
  • ChristopherNYC
    Great Podcast for Beginners & Pros
    The podcast offers quick reviews of favorites and in-depth analysis of the new "hotness". Funny and family friendly this podcast is not to be missed!
  • Overseern
    Great Stuff
    Excellent podcast very funny and informative. love the banter/ They all seem to really enjoy the games, the play, and the review of it all. Dan's purchase of Mage Wars is totally justified and I assure you Chris and Anthony will soon own it as well These guys are great, I highly recomend listening to them all... We want more Kim!! That guy Nick who made Dan buy Mage Wars sounds like a fun, intelligent, and I would guess handsome guy!
