Ever wondered if board gaming could be the next big spectator sport? In episode 230 of the Crowdfunding Nerds podcast, Andrew and Sean dive into the world of competitive board gaming with Chris George, the creative mind behind the Room and Board YouTube channel and a key player in the World Series of Board Gaming (WSBG). Chris shares his fascinating journey from acting to becoming a board game aficionado, spurred by the pandemic.

We explore the challenges of making board games spectator-friendly, with Chris drawing parallels to esports and poker. Could board games hit major sports networks soon?
