Saint1930Absolute favoriteMy absolute favorite board game podcast. The chemistry amongst the hosts is stellar, even if they are not fans of Terraforming Mars. đ if you like euro games, this is the podcast for you. One of the rare podcasts that I listen to every bit of every episode.

holtznessAnother great gaming podcastItâs been a while since I searched for new board gaming podcasts that I hadnât heard of yet and in a recent search, I came across this one. First off, this podcast has great sound quality! Nothing kills a podcast for me quicker than crappy audio. I enjoy the way the guys interact, they seem to play a lot of games and they can speak intelligently about them so I donât find myself questioning whether or not they know what they are talking about. A very solid board gaming podcast and well worth your time. Keep up the great work guys!

raychmaeLove, love, love!I sincerely look forward to listening to every podcast you guys put up. Thanks for sharing your board game adventures with us!

GrmpichardoThe Best of its KindPunchboard Paradise is a gem among dozens of board game podcasts that donât quite hit the mark. The mix of the dynamic between Richie, Clef, and Chad, their differing tastes in games, and the unique segments they have keeps the podcast fresh and exciting. Punchboard Paradise never gets boring, and I recommend it to anyone who likes board gaming, wants to get into board gaming, or even just likes an entertaining podcast.

DraftDiaryTop Rate Board Game News and ReviewsPunchboard Paradise is consistently one of the best podcasts I listen to. The three hosts are knowledgeable, experienced gamers who are able to give meaningful comparisons to past games while also pointing out the things that make a game unique. They have saved me from purchasing mistakes (Lowlands) while also leading me to many great games. Give Chad, Ritchie, and Clef a listen. You wonât be disappointed.

Fletch WFun!Just discovered this podcast but I really like their reviews. Great discussions and they really dive into the meat of the game. Will continue to listen often!
-
jbredthauerGreat Podcast for Eurogame ReviewsThis is an outstanding podcast to get recommendations for new heavy eurogames to try! I especially appreciate Clef's no-nonsense approach to his reviews. Mechanics are everything!
-
RendamereFunny, Quality, Content3 things needed to make a podcast work and the Punchboarders bring it! I often go to their podcast for a quality review of a game because all 3 hosts have very different opinions of games!
-
2boardgamersPunchboard Paradise.These guys know their games. All three have unique takes on each game making their reviews accessible to all types of players. They have great banter and Chad does voices (sort of). Highly recommend these guys.

ohiofarmgirlFun and informative tabletop podcastMy husband got me to listen to this even though I havenât been a huge fan of podcasts. But I have come to really enjoy their banter and discussion of board games and look forward to each episode now. Great job and keep it up! If you havenât listened...give it a shot!
-
Scott-O-MaticThis is a 6.If you love games. If you love heavier games. You will love Punchboard Paradise. Chad, Clef are Richie are entertaining, knowledgeable and honest in their opinions. Iâve paired down my gaming podcasts, but this one will never leave the collection. PS the Kickstarter Corner music is the best.
-
TheCasualsLudological entertainmentThe gents have fantastic interaction and cover games on the heavier side which is my wheelhouse. Keep up the good work.

WomenLikeBoardGamesNice, informative podcast about board gamesI've tried quite a few board games podcasts and this one up there with my favorites. A little newer, but I like that the 3 hosts have different tastes so you don't get group think when it comes to their reviews. The hosts are also honest in their reviews, which is a breath of fresh air - if they don't like something you'll hear about it for sure. I also enjoy the drafts and hearing about games they've played. All in a all something I look forward to every other week!
-
Gralem02Really Enjoy The PunchBunchVery entertaining show with a lot of enthusiasm on the part of the hosts!
-
QuellSpellerGood conversations about great gamesIâve been listening to more podcasts recently and this has been a good mix of rules introduction with higher level discussion of games.
-
JHopp88Awesome ShowThis is a great show. The draft of games, publishers, etc is a unique way to think about lists. I love the opinions of all three hosts, they help guild me towards games I know I will like!
-
SamIAm2519A board game podcast that knows their $h!7!These guys produce a great podcast about boardgames. They will always give you their honest opinion in their board game reviews and are always on top of the new releases in the gaming industry. On top of that their banter is entertaining. Sure fire listen if you are into boardgames.
-
bjoerzLove itGreat board gaming info for the heavy or light gamers
-
Timelord2112From someone who isnât even a true board gamer...I play board games but I am strange in that I like watching people play board games (like Wil Wheatonâs Tabletop) and listen to people talk about them more than playing them myself. I like the way these guys make you feel like youâre sitting at a table with them discussing these games. I know the podcast really isnât for me because I donât recognize a lot of the games they reference, but they do an excellent job explaining the rules and their rating system is top notch. Their passion for games and the community at large is palpable. Bravo on a professional and fun to listen to show guys. Keep up the good work!
-
sheepbaronGreat for Euro/strategy fansThis podcast is now one of my top podcasts for board games (up there with Secret Cabal and Blue Peg Pink Peg). If you like economic or Euro style board games, this is the one to listen to. Great banter, good analysis in the reviews (it is clear they have played the game being reviewed many times), and they cover the games I am most interested in. I only wish it was longer to hear about more games they have been playing.
-
OhiofarmerboyOne of the BEST podcasts for heavy board gamersThis is quickly becoming one of favorite podcasts. If you enjoy heavy euros youâre going to love the punch boarders. Informative as well as entertaining. You wonât go wrong. Love it.
-
JR04068One of the bestI got turned on to this podcast after reading Clefâs top 100 on BGG and Iâm glad I did. I now wait for every new episode so I can listen when it comes out. Chad, Ritchie, and Clef have great chemistry and sound like they must obviously be good friends outside of this podcast. They each have unique game tastes but are still complimentary of each other. Their reviews are informative and entertaining. I love the drafts. In a nut shell this is my go to podcast to hear about the games and topics in board games that are most important to me. Keep up the good work fellas!
-
iSmistyThe Sweet SpotI'm struggling a bit here because I want to tell you how great these guys are, but when I try to think of examples, it's mostly just about how annoying they're not. They're engaging and clearly excited about the subject matter, but they don't shout at you and employ wacky sound effects. They have opinions, but are careful not to claim that theirs is the only way to approach things. They're clearly friends, but they mostly stick to the business at hand. I don't listen to a lot of board game podcasts, because it seems like there's always something that bothers me in them. But I can tolerate these guys. That's a compliment, right?

bhudson1972Excellent Hobby Boarding Game DiscussionCheckout Punchboard Paradise for insightful topics on all things related to the modern board game hobby.

AmyPondWhovianLove the BanterI was looking for a good podcast that reviews board games and I found it. The banter between all of the cohosts is very entertaining. The draft idea is unique and clever. Keep it up!
-
sarahwed317Great!Great podcast, keep it rolling guys and go Hawkeyes!!
-
The North Rememb3rsGreat show!These guys are definitely worth a listen! I enjoy the twist these guys do on the typical top X games lists. They each âdraftâ games so that no list has duplicate games and it makes for some fun conversation. Give these guys a shot and you wonât be disappointed. Getting better and better with each episode!
-
tomee638Great job!Love the back and forth between the group and the number of games covered. They keep on track with board game talk with just the right amount of personal reference stories which really shows that they enjoy games. Great people, great podcast! Keep it up!
-
MMMA85-star all the way!Great and educational podcast! I listen every time and canât wait for the next.
-
DustinStaatsGreat Podcast!Omaha, Nebraska! Really cool podcast so far and a big plus because itâs from Omaha. Iâm currently based in Taiwan and itâs cool to listen to a podcast from Omaha. The guys cover different board games and discuss their replay value and concepts of the games.
