    Lovely and Genuine
    Good people sharing good thoughts about a good hobby. Love the nuance they are not afraid to lean into as well. They offer actual, honest to the ivory-tower-gods big C Criticism. Amazing. The industry is better and the community richer for having their voice speaking into it.
  • Chudley61
    Such a Comfy listen!
    I don’t use apple’s podcast app but I’m using it right now because I enjoy the show so much and want to support them with a rating!

    Best Board Game Podcast
    As well as being a funny podcast from two delightful people to listen to, this podcast is one of the best at being extremely informative.
  • Reytheist
    Wonderful
    Efka and Elaine are delightful and insightful.
  • myrtle82
    NPI Podcast
    Another great way to keep up with NPI
  • Mindbnder
    Efka, stop interrupting
    I like this podcast quite a bit but Efka interrupts too much and tries to dominate the conversation.
  • rjsheets
    More good stuff from NPI
    Every bit as likable, charming and interesting in podcast form as they are on their channel. Highly recommend!
  • graymauser1
    Solid and Honest
    Good interplay between Efka and Elaine. Natural views with introspective thoughts. I enjoy the way disagreement happens at times, but plays out smoothly to provide competing views that harmonize. Good people playing good games and sharing thoughts and views. I’m entertained …
  • Pierson69
    Enthusiasm & Earnestness
    Absolutely great podcast. Very informative, and Positive. Highly recommend subscribing.
  • Ordered wings
    Great!
    Charming hosts, fun conversation, the games that are games, the podcast that is games

    The Simon & Garfunkel of Boardgame Podcasts
    Efka and Jon are amazing together, bringing different-but-complementary viewpoints to every game they cover. If you like their YouTube channels, this podcast is a must-listen. Goes to the top of my podcast queue the instant they release an episode.
  • Trevinsky
    Great chemistry and content
    Echo other comments stated previously. Love how they focus on only a few games and go a bit deeper into the mechanics, replayability, and fun factor. Only wish they posted more often. Keep up the good work!
  • Arthur_227
    Fun and informative!
    Really enjoy this podcast! Very genuine, informative and funny. Saw their individual YouTube videos first and would never have put these two together, but it works really well.
  • Colejm
    Outstanding and intelligent
    Wonderful podcast.
  • Papayaparade
    Great!
    Two of my favorite YouTube creators come together for fun banter and insightful commentary on the board game hobby. 5/7 would recommend.
  • Baked butterflies
    Fantastic Podcast
    A perfect balance of discussion and banter. Both Efka and Jon can articulate their thoughts well and keep me engaged.
  • LiteraryBeard
    Entertaining & Intelligent
    A boardgaming podcast that feels like a beautiful unscripted conversation. It's entertaining and informative without all the annoying bells & whistles of the funny favorites while still able to disagree and dig into some depth. Yeah for Efka & Jon, who don't always mesh, which is why I enjoy it.
  • framebrain
    Efka & Jon, what could go wrong? :)
    Two great Youtubers combine their superpowers to produce a cool new audio podcast about tabletop games. Great team up!
