What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I discovered this podcast and their associated discord server shortly after getting into the lord of the rings card game. This podcast is absolutely amazing for learning about the game and coordinating the community, which itself is best of breed. The only downside is the frequent talk of hunting. I do my best to fast forward the segments where they’re talking about murdering animals, though.

SPlayer42 · Apr 2023

The first 122 episodes were fantastic. Great charisma and charm from Brandon (who really carried the show), the cohosts changed some but overall were outclassed by the Canadian sensation that was Brandon. After episode 111 it does take a gentle turn towards the end and it came as no surprise to me that 122 marked the ‘end’ of the show. The new hosts are vanilla ice cream compared to the 31 flavors of Baskin Robbins we had before. Chris is a great player and has the best insight but listening to him correct Chads incorrect assumptions about how cards work or game mechanics got old real quick. I slogged through it and am current as of ep 149 but it has been more out of my insanity for completion than enjoyment for the show. For me the eps past 123 are more about mining for Chris’s nuggets of game logic. Am still giving 5 stars because the first 122 deserve it, after that...2.

These guys are: 1) Entertaining; 2) Knowledgeable; and 3) Properly focused on their topic. This is a rare hat trick in podcasts these days - but they pull it off. I listen faithfully - and always crack up at Brandon. (I think that's his name). He's funny - but never in an overbearing way. The other guys round things put well. Good stuff! Keep em coming - and I'll keep downloading.

These guys are fun and loaded with information. They are extremely knowledgeable about this LCG and their love for the game is infectious.

DundyO · Feb 2013

This podcast needs to be marked explicit. The humor and language is not family friendly. The hosts ramble and too frequently go on tangents. The podcast is much too long for what its trying to achieve. The hosts need to understand the rules and the cards they are reviewing much better. Most of their off the cuff observations about the game are just wrong.
