Board Game Gateway

"They did the Mash! They did the monster mash.

We head back to discord this week so we can welcome our first-ever guest to the podcast. Redmond Hamel is a friend of the show and ex-colleague of Ralph and will give us his perspective on some of his favourite games including 'Betrayal at House on the Hill'. Things get a bit spooky as all get a reading of one of the Omen cards from the game.

We also have a look at one of the most interesting introductory strategy games on the market in 'Cairn'. A quick and easy two-player battle of wits that makes chess look overly complicated and checkers bland and boring by comparison.

Sit back, relax and enjoy this week's episode of the Board Game Gateway Podcast

Hey! You know what really grinds my gears?!

In today's episode, we welcome the hosts back to the recording table to deliver you an absolute cracker of an episode. Starting the session in the usual style telling you about the games that they have played this week. Matt and Neeber decided to learn and play a classic 'Targi' on Board Game Arena, Ralph and Neeber had the privilege to play 'Concordia' on Tabletop Simulator & Ralph got to play 'Chaos in the Old World' in person.

We then got to play and give our opinion on our Gateway Game of the Week 'Azul'.

And finally, it's time to let out all your grievances and tell us about your Game Night and Board Game Pet Peeves. We head to Facebook to get some answers from our community and I feel like we are all a lot closer now.

It's a long one but honestly, we think it's one of our best. Strap in for Episode 006 of the BG Gateway Podcast.

"Because tonight will be the night that I will play with you.

Episode five is here and we have changed it up with Ralph taking on hosting duties and pushing Neeber to the back. In this episode, the two hosts talk about a number of topics that all revolve around the theme of meeting people and playing board games in public. They recount their latest local board game meetup they attended, what it is like to run their own local board game group as well as the etiquette that all of us should respect when taking our hobby to the public.

Not only that but the boys give their first impressions and opinions on 'Castles of Mad King Ludwig', 'Wise Guys' and 'Long Shot: The Dice Game'. 

We hope you enjoy the discussion.

"I sat down to play and game and stuff was just chucked at me.

We made it to episode four of the Board Game Gateway Podcast and this week we have 75% of the crew returning for your listening pleasure. Neeber, Blayke and Matt have a really interesting discussion topic led by the returning Matt on the first presentation and first impression of board games as well as regaling you with memories of Board Games past.

One. Singular sensation, every little game they rate.

Welcome to the third episode of the Board Game Gateway Podcast, this week we are 50% leaner with Blayke and Matt missing in action but don't let that worry you as we have another cracking episode. Neeber and Ralph break down the games that they have been playing as well as have a discussion on the topic of what is it about games that brings them enjoyment.

Look who's back, back again. Gateways back, tell your friends.

Anywho with that silly introduction out of the way we would like to welcome you back to the Board Game Gateway Podcast. In this week's episode, we tackle the theme 'What makes a good gateway game' as well as discuss the games Ganz Schon Clever, Marvel Champions and Galaxy Trucker. 

All four of the hosts are back with this interesting look into what things they look for when trying to get people who are not entrenched in the board gaming hobby to the table.

Welcome to the Podcast, we got fun and games.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Board Game Gateway Podcast, if that reference made sense to you then we will get along swimmingly. In this episode, the hosts introduce themselves to you as well as engage in a discussion of what were some of the games that got them into the board gaming hobby.

Also, the crew has a chat about what they were playing this week (Bot Factory and Corridors of Power) as well as their choice for 'Gateway Game of the Week'.

We hope you enjoy it!
