The Gamecasters: A Board Gaming Podcast About Board Games
There are SO many podcasts about board games, but so few that feature us! Join Natalie, Jeff and Ryan as we discuss new games we‘ve recently played. Listen to our unique segments like the Boardgame Beatdown, where we take a super popular game and read all the lowest rated BGG comments it has, or the Instagram Inbox where we ask for participation from our listeners on social media. We also usually play some sort of game that you can play along with, and we always end the show with a Top 5 list! There is a lot of content, discussion and laughter packed into every episode. Come join in the fun every other Sunday!!!

Hey hey, Gamers, and welcome to Episode 83 of The Gamecasters! In today's episode we explore the latest Ryan-obsession in blank and write games!

We start off with a hilarious post-nerdfest story of woe, we shake things up in the Game We Play When We Don't Have A Game To Play where Ryan gives clues to Natalie to try and get 30 games guessed in 3 minutes, and as stated before we end the show with our Top 5 Blank and Write Games!

**We had some technical issues this episode that weren't found until AFTER we recorded, so the sound quality of Natalie and Ryan's microphones are very poor this episode. Everything should be back to normal next time. Sorry about that**
