Heavy Cardboard

Heavy Cardboard Heavy Cardboard is a fortnightly podcast (& YouTube channel) dedicated to the discussion and enjoymen Hey, we enjoy lighter fare too, of course!

Heavy Cardboard is a podcast and YouTube channel dedicated to the enjoyment of medium to heavy strategy board games, war games, and 18xx. Our Live Event Teach, Play Through & Round Table Discussions of these games are featured on the YouTube channel while in depth reviews are provided on the podcast. In every podcast episode, we will feature a healthy discussion on one heavy game. We’ll share our

opinions and thoughts on the game and talk about why we think it is heavy and what we enjoy about it. We’ll also talk about what things we may not like about the game, hey, not every game is perfect – we have our differing tastes! We love board gaming in general. In our Lunchtime streams on the YouTube channel, we will focus on thinky filler and hard to find games you can play on your lunch hour or around heavier games at game day! All of this is made possible by the diverse and inclusive community we lovingly refer to as The Herd, our Patrons over at PledgeHC.com who keep the gaming discussions going in our Patron Only Slack channel. Won’t you join us?
