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. Each game reviewed receives a Major Fun or Spiel of Approval award, our badge of quality. Many episodes feature a variety show format with fun segments and different contributors. The Spiel and its media network are part of The Spiel Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We strive to make the world a more playful place. We believe play is a powerful positive force in the world. Our goal with the show is open a door to the wider world of games to as many people as we can. Have a listen. We hope you'll be inspired to find a friend and play!
