Boxfart!
Join hosts Red and Blue as they try to come up with main topics that HAVEN'T been done to death by every other board game commentator, but no promises. We are two friends who have been gaming together for years and have always been able to talk at length about the board games and the hobby we love so very much. Join us on our travels through our own collections and see as we experience the zeniths and nadirs of the wonderful world of modern hobbyist board games! Editor's note: Though we remain proud of our earliest episodes, it is this podcast cohost's opinion new listeners should just.... go ahead and skip to at least episode 5 to where we have ANY real recording equipment. To those of you brave enough to listen to our early output, we apologize to your ears.
