Description

BOARD GAMES with Variant Hex is a podcast about board games, with Variant Hex (You probably could have guessed that.) We're a group of friends who play board games to connect, improve, and have fun. There are three things you should know about this podcast beyond the title: 1. We have no schedule. Subscribe to know when new episodes are posted. 2. We have no format. We'll definitely talk about board games, but beyond that? Who knows. 3. We have no ads. You can try our name as a promo code, but expect to be disappointed. We're looking forward to sharing our experiences with you!
