    Any nobody board game reviewer that trashes consistently trashes some of the best reviewed designers out there can kick rocks. Pass.

    Kind of a board game podcast? Maybe?
    It’s not a podcast about board games, per se. It’s more a podcast where the conversations are the stuff you would talk about while playing board games. They seem to be really hung up on this listener named Ryan, and specifically his Adonis-like calves. But seriously, it’s a solid show with uniquely engaging personalities and they talk just enough about board games to justify the title. You should definitely check out a couple of episodes

    Come for the board games, stay for the accents!
    Review 100! This is my favorite podcast of all time, mainly because of the community they have cultivated around the show. I don’t even care that they don’t talk much about board games. Never change, friends.
  • ottermanempire
    Totally awful show
    This podcast sucks—DONT nominate them for goldengeek ;) Needs more breakdowns of Star Wars characters
  • BBTINKER9918

  • polaryte
    Fun show

    Love it
    Love the snobs: Enrique, Gobby, Dan, and the small grumpy one (Jury?). I don’t know why it’s called Board Game snobs, they mostly talk about their jobs, but are very entertaining anyway. Great show 5/5
  • BWhit87
    Goofy and unfunny
    With so many good shows out there, why listen to this? It’s not good at all…
  • bippy17
    Dig it
    I really, really, really dig this show!
  • not cheap card gamer for sure
    LOTS of banter
    I searched for a game and listened 25 minute show First 10 minutes were talking about blob movies Way too much silly banter for my taste (a little goes a long way)
  • Mudmaniac
    Simply the best, and go!!!
    An elite board game podcast from the Three Stooges of board gaming. Most definitely the best boardgame podcast in the history of the world.

    The car wreck you need
    Like any great car wreck you drive by, you’re horrified and yet you cannot turn away.
  • Hadakiss
    The other intro was better.
    Miss the other intro.

    Top-tier nonsense
    I wrote a much longer, incredibly articulate review and Apple ate it, I guess. Anyway, I can’t even listen to other board game podcasts any more because these guys have spoiled me. All those other podcasts try to stuff my head with so-called “useful” information. I have enough of that in my head already, thanks. Listening to these fellows is like playing games and drinking with your funny smart friends and talking about whatever dang thing comes into your head. Sometimes it’s games, sometimes it’s Kevin Costner, sometimes it’s hermorrhoids. And that’s FINE.

    My boys!
    They bring me joy.

    Appointment Listening
    This is a “drop everything and listen” podcast for me. They may be 90% banter and 10% board games, but I come for the banter. These guys are irreverent and silly but can also dig into the occasional serious topic like nueurodiversity or depression and talk about it in a thoughtful, informed manner, while still making me laugh.
  • ffundle
    Listening is a treat!
    Love the podcast! The topics, board game related or not, are wonderful and hilarious. Puns and references are so good. When’s that discord channel coming? Would love the chat room like platform to interact with the BGS community.
  • Friarfraust
    Idiots
    No, not the podcast guys! I’m talking about you guys who leave a one star review and call this your favorite podcast! I know these board game snobs talk about drinking, but don’t leave them a review when you are too drunk to check off 5 stars!!!! What are you thinking! Sober up, write a great review and give these guys some love!

    Snobs of the South
    Snobs, snobs of the south Sweet baby Enrique and shut my mouth Gone, gone with the wind Ain’t nobody but 2 good friends Armadillos on the roadside, armadillos in the ditch We all played with meeples but we never got rich Gaby was a trucker with a mesh trucker hat They oughta get Spiel de Jahres to vote like that Well somebody told us Stonemaier fell But we were such snobs that we couldn’t tell Old classics were short and new Kickstarters stood tall But Mr. Jerry Baker’s gonna save us all… Well Jerry got sick and Gaby got down Sharde grew up and moved across town Gaby got a job with the Wal-Mart store Somehow Enrique still holds the high score (Song of the South parody)

    Fantastic Podcast!
    I discovered this podcast sometime in 2020, and I went back and listed to all the episodes from the beginning. (I’ve never done that with any other podcast ever!) Gaby and Jerry are great fun to listen to, and they are able to effortlessly riff on all kinds of random topics as they come up. This is a “board game podcast”, but that’s not REALLY the focus. Come for the banter and enjoy a little board gaming content while you’re at it.
  • Sooner811
    My favorite podcast
    Gaby and Jerry are hilarious. Usually a comedy duo needs a comic and dead pan to mesh well. These fellas are the exception to that rule. What I love about this podcast is that they aren’t afraid to stray from board games. The banter at the start of each episode is usually hysterical. The opinions are honest and transparent, especially when Jerry is drinking. This is just two buddies having fun together and bringing the audience along for the ride. The interaction with fans on social media adds to the enjoyment. If you like board games and you like puns, you will love the Board Game Snobs

    Not for me
    Pretty unbearable to listen to.

    A gem in a crowded crop of blandness
    Easily my second favorite board game podcast. Dan Hughes is a mighty titan not be bested. But I digress. The snobs bring a unique flavor to the crowded bird game podcast scene. They talk about bird games and you will know pretty quickly where their interests lie. But they give it to you straight without pulling punches. Every. Single. Time. And they do it with wit and humor that is unmatched. You will laugh from start to finish as you watch two friends who you know can’t easily be torn apart jump from one topic to the next. It’s fascinating stuff. Enrique is there too.

    Love Listening!!
    These guys are funny and give great, honest thoughts, on board games.
  • b McHughs
    Listen you won’t be disappointed!!!
    They are hilarious! Good listen on my morning commute!
  • John Menn
    Just what I needed!
    One of the other reviews compares this podcast to Waterworld, which must be accurate because I love that movie. These guys talk about board games and generally have good takes on games and the hobby, but more importantly, they have great chemistry and funny banter, and their humor really resonates with me. Also, far superior production quality compared to some board game podcasts I have listened to. Keep up the good work!
  • Hiskendd
    No game cast more entertaining.
    Something so enjoyable about listening to two friends slap box with words.
  • Shardiz
    Love!
    Love these guys!! Dumb but hilarious!
  • LORD WALDER FREY
    Hilarious!
    You guys are amazing! Your dynamic has a certain je ne sais quoi.
  • Shan.man.
    Great show
    What were we talking about... Fun gaming podcast for me to listen to. I bet these guys would be great to game with
  • Metzenjsr
    Hilarious
    These guys are so much fun. I like board games talk, but I love their banter even more.

    The Kevin Costner of board game podcasts!
    Epic in scope and vision yet financially disastrous at the box office, Board Game Snobs is the Waterworld of tabletop podcasts. You won’t be able to look away. The last resort when you’ve grown bored of all the the other board game content. Like a Postman delivering a letter from a friend every week.
  • Harvey72710
    I’d hang out with these guys
    Couple a goofs busting each other and some game talk.

    A group of jellyfish is a smack
    I can't even explain why I love this podcast so much. I do a retro video game podcast with my best friend (Retro Blissed) and just started a board game podcast (Cardboard Bliss). I shamelessly plug just to say I'm now seriously considering ending both my shows, because what's the point when these guys do everything I could ever want in a podcast? I mean their opinions are waaaay off on some games, but I don't even care. More fun than a business of ferrets.

    I’m very confused....
    I don’t know why I liked listening to this podcast. I’ve only listened to one episode (29) and it was everything I don’t want in a board game podcast. At least I thought? For some reason, that I’ll attempt to explain, I found them to be quite entertaining. I appreciated there lack of care when it comes to the production of their show. It felt real, casual and refreshingly honest. It wasn’t two dudes awkwardly talking about board games just because they like board games or because they want to be the next big BG podcast. Rather, It was two good friends talking about board games and whatever else came up organically (in episode 29’s case, squirrels) through conversation. This is not the podcast for you if you’re looking for quick, straight to the point reviews, news or other board game related information. That said, If you’re looking for something board game related to kill the time while allowing you to feel like you’re hanging out with some cool people talking about games you love/hate, based on the episode I listened to, I’d recommend this podcast.
  • Cardboardtreasure
    Love it!
    I really like this podcast because the discussion is interesting and diverse. It’s clear that everyone loves the hobby and enjoys talking about games. I appreciate the casual format and it makes the podcast more entertaining. Run your show like no one is listening and the content becomes much more authentic and more importantly fun! Thanks guys. Keep em coming!
  • BsckseatBJ
    Whatever
    Because Jerry told me to.
  • mmx1d0
    All IN!
    Informative yet entertaining! Board games are the primary topic discussed but they don’t stop there! Good whiskey, the animal kingdom and life are all fair game as well.
  • BBFling
    Wonderful board game podcast with original and very funny content
    I recently discovered the Board Game Snobs podcast, and I love it. Gaby and Jerry are a great team that talk about board games with an easy and extremely humorous style. Listening to them is like talking to your friends about games after a game night. Love their style, love what they talk about, love the banter. Makes me want to seek them out some day at a con to play games with them. Keep up the great work.

    Board Game Snobs - Yeah Awesome Duo
    Lately, I've been searching for something a little different in the board game review catagory. These guys did great on their debut podcast: not too short or too long. Great content. These two love the games they review, super informative, and for me, spot on with the right amount of critical wiggle room. I can't wait for next one! I expect it to be even better. I went out and actually played one of the games reviewed. Totally worth it. Checked out the website and it all came together. Offically a Board Game Snob now.
