    Board Gamers Anonymous

    Welcome to Board Gamers Anonymous, the podcast where everyone is welcome at the table.

    Hosted by Chris and joined by a rotating cast of passionate gamers, Board Gamers Anonymous brings you lively conversations about the games we love, the games we don’t, and everything that keeps us coming back to the table.

    Each week, we dig into the biggest questions, debates, trends, and hot takes in tabletop gaming, alongside reviews, previews, recommendations, rankings, and plenty of opinions. From the newest releases and modern classics to the designers, mechanics, and moments that make this hobby great, BGA is about more than what’s in the box—it’s about the people around the table.

    After more than 13 years and nearly 600 episodes, we’re still playing, arguing, laughing, and asking the most important question of all: **Whose turn is it?!*

    Pull up a chair. You’re always welcome at our table.
