<![CDATA[Two at the Table]]>Two brothers. One table. Way too many board games.

Two at the Table is a podcast about board games, the people who play them, and the reasons we keep coming back to the table.

Join brothers Shaun and Ian as they talk about the games they’re playing, what makes certain games special, and the experiences that turn a good game into one you want to play again and again. Along the way, they’ll share stories from their own gaming journey, dive into topics like replayability, game design, miniatures, painting, and the wider tabletop hobby, and occasionally pull up an extra chair for guests from the gaming community.

Whether you’ve been playing board games for decades or you’re just discovering there’s a whole world beyond the classics, there’s a seat for you at the table.

Pull up a chair. Let’s play.
