What’s this? A new board game podcast? Join Joel and Chris for the premier of the all-new Oak and Onion podcast. In this episode we introduce ourselves and talk about what things we’re  into outside of board gaming, from prestige tv to Star Wars novels. Then it’s on to the Chopping Block, where we review Periodic and Aspens. We share five games that defined our gaming journey and put Chris in the hot seat to blind rank iconic board game duos. Finally we cap it off with a discussion of what a game needs to hit our sweet spot. Get in on the ground floor and join us for the history-making first episode!
