As soon as these two decided it was ok to equate President Trump with Hitler… Yea, screw these fools. <3

Awesome taste in game, great insights, what more can I say? Love listening to you guys.

This podcast is filled with the things I love most about the board game hobby (and the things I do the most when I’m with my friends): 1) talk about games we’ve been playing 2) talk about the merits (and pitfalls) of games, resulting sometimes in pitched battles of opinion 3) wax poetic about game mechanics we love to see, want to see more of, or wish would fade away. Pat and Tony bring earnest passion for the BG hobby that not only comes through in everything they do in the show, but also makes their reviews much more usable than other video or podcast reviews I’m used to. Take for instance Furnace, A game I am quite interested in but not 100% sure if that interest will translate into table enjoyment for me and the people I play with. Instead of a review that simply boils down to whether or not the person or group enjoyed the game, there was an open discussion of the pros and cons throughout the review segment. While this might not result in a simplistic final line, encouraging me to either go right out and buy it or forget all about it, it gives me food for thought on both sides of the issue (which is even more valuable). I was a late comer to this show (because there’s just so many shows in the BG space it’s impossible to always be able to find the good ones), but I have been massively enjoying listening back to the episodes about games I either own and love to hear what they think about it, or to games that have been residing on my “do I really want to seek this game out?” list to help me in the same way they did for Furnace (well, in that case, I’m still on the fence, so….) So if you are reading this review now and don’t currently listen to the podcast, rest assured, if you want engaging, honest discussions about board games, you have a massive backlog of episodes that will keep you coming back again and again.

Hosts pat and tony have a great rapport and their game reviews are insightful. It’s a great listen and I look forward to each new episode

I’ve really been enjoying TWfaW since I’ve stumbled upon them a few months ago. I especially appreciate the euro discussions, and also the b-sides have been fun. Informative talk about the games I wanna hear about, and they make you laugh. Love it

Recently became aware of this podcast and am looking forward to catching up on some of the past analysis!

Pat and Tony have created a great podcast that cover all the best parts of board games. I really enjoy the in-depth reviews of specific games but also the themes and topic sections. Really also enjoy their top 10 list segments. Above it all, Pat and Tony have tons of personality and have a great chemistry. Feels like I’m at the table with friends. Highly recommend!

Followed these guys since the beginning and they’re consistently informative and entertaining. Good mix of personalities and viewpoints.

What a treat this podcast is! Pat and Tony have an expansive knowledge of the hobby, strong opinions about what makes a game great (or not), and disagree with passion and well-argued positions. Well worth a listen!

I really enjoy listening to Two Wood for a Wheat both for the engaging banter and for the informed and often enjoyably lengthy discussions of individual games, specific designers and gaming topics. I found the podcast by way of the BGG blog Tony writes (The secrets of great games). They have a great synthesis between in-depth format and breadth of games covered both in the podcast and on the blog. Highly recommend for heavy and lighter gamers alike — you will learn so much!

You can definitely tell these 2 enjoy games and have a good passion for board gaming with the amount of detail they go into their reviews. The wide amount of games they discuss always makes for an interesting listen to whenever you pop in.

Excellent podcast—I’m constantly impressed by Tony and Pat’s extensive history of board games. Nuanced and interesting conversations keep my coming back week after week. Thanks for all the great discussions so far and here’s to many more!

I stumbled upon this podcast and it’s now become one of my favorites. There are not many board game content creators who cover Euros regularly like this one. I’ve recommended it in a lot of board game spaces. I’m also enjoying the B Side episodes as well. Thumbs up, way up.

Excellent, in depth analysis of games and their mechanisms that goes well beyond the usual "I like this" or "I don't like this" of most podcasts and delves into the nuts and bolts of games.

Gets into more detail about why they do or don’t like games than almost any other podcast.

This podcast is new to me and I have been really enjoying it! I am now working my way backwards through the 60+ shows and I am loving every minute of it. The discussios are easy to follow, organized and very entertaining. Thanks, keep it up!

I played with both of these guys and great guys and funny sometimes...
