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.

The original pilot for the Spiel was lost, so this is our fresh start! You'll find out who's behind the Spiel and why we're doing this.
