Nerds on Earth is being pestered. Now, it’s not as egregious as someone driving slowly past Nerds on Earth Headquarters late at night with the window rolled and Roy Orbison playing loudly on the 8-track stereo, but we’re being pestered nonetheless.
“Hey, Nerds on Earth!”, they nag. “What are your thoughts on board game X?”, where X stands for any one of the 4,000 board games released each year. To be clear, we very much wish to share our thoughts on every single board game because board games are awesome and we do very much love to hear ourselves talk.
Alas, we can’t cover everything. Luckily, board game media is better than ever! In fact, the availability of really good voices and channels that talk intelligently about board games is one of the reasons that the board game hobby is thriving and expanding at an absurd rate.
So, let me point to seven of the best sources for you to take a deep dive into the board game hobby. We certainly hope you’ll stick around Nerds on Earth, of course, but these 7 board game media sites really are the places you need to be following.
