Description
iTunes Summary

Bad jokes. Good folks. Games. Every other week, Chris & Philip talk about their experiences playing different games (both board games and video games). If you enjoy hearing people talk about the fun they have playing various games instead of why X game is better than Y game, this is the show for you. Plus, they've got the latest board games news , the worst jokes, and the best guests occasionally.

Have you ever thought: Tabletop gaming podcasts just aren't cringe worthy enough? Have you ever made terrible jokes like "If Noah found a pig murdered, would it be an Ark-ham Horror?" Then you should check out Boards & Swords, the podcast featuring Bad Jokes, Good Folks, and Tabletop games. Every other week, Chris and Philip show what happens when you let Dad Jokes get dangerously close to tabletop games.
