Amazing.

I've recently been diving deep into board game design after playing games for a good number of years now. I can't get enough of these conversations. So much insight into the mind of a game designer! Keep up the great work, fellas!

Extremely Informative

I listened to all 12 episodes in two days to catch up, and then eagerly anticipated the 13th. These guys are great at conveying information and keeping things educational. So many times, podcasters ramble on and on about the stuff I didn’t tune in to hear. These guys save that stuff for last, and let me get the knowledge first, and then a few minutes of just “hanging out getting to know them” at the end.

Well done, and keep it up!
