The Spiel
Summary: The Spiel is a show about games and the people who love them. Each episode, we review and discuss a new board game or card game from our massive collection. We also highlight overlooked classics and play a stump-the-band style quiz, the Game Sommelier, trying to match the right game with the right crowd. The Spiel takes a long hard look at fun and games by having fun playing games. Our goal is to open a door to the wider world of games.
