Gen Con 2018 Recap

Low Player Count is a now-defunct podcast devoted to thinking about, sometimes reviewing, but mostly discussing solo and two player boardgames and their place in the current board gaming culture. Instead of just doing reviews, we aim to dissect the larger boardgames industry through our discussions of one and two-player games, occasionally focusing on a specific game. We are three guys with a wide range of gaming interests and tastes, but all have an affinity for solo and two-player boardgames.

I am such a fan of this podcast. The new design series has me hooked.

Love it love it love it

Guys, seriously love the podcast! Keep up the excellent work.

Love the podcast!
