The Official Sheffield Board Gamers Podcast is a UK-based board gaming show where we discuss the games we've been playing, explore the latest happenings in the hobby, and dive into a different board gaming topic each month with our Question of the Month feature.
Along the way, we welcome special guests from across the gaming community to share their experiences, opinions, and insights. Whether you're into heavyweight strategy games, family favourites, party games, or hidden gems, we've got something for every kind of gamer.
Created by the Sheffield Board Gamers community, we celebrate tabletop gaming in all its forms and believe great games are best enjoyed with great people.
