All things have an origin story. We’ve often debated which came first, the chicken or the egg? Whatever the origin, Michael Coniff and Stephen Rippee’s friendship was further cemented when they both discovered each other’s board game passion. Then, when they met Erik Brown? That passion grew into a full blown obsession. This podcast is a dedication to that obsession, but ultimately, the idea that board games can bring friends, family, and even strangers together in an increasingly digital age. Whether your favorite board game is Monopoly or Gloomhaven, your passion is valuable in taking the joy of games to all the corners of the world. We want to focus on the community. On you the listener (reader in this case). We want you to experience board games as we have, beyond the cardboard, plastic, and wooden cubes, and into the players and people that make the games memorable. Thank you for joining us on this ever evolving journey!
