I maintain a comprehensive list of all English board and card game related blogs and podcasts on the internet, so far as I know. To be on this list, a site must:
- Have an RSS feed
- Have been updated in the last 3 months, unless a post indicates a specific hiatus.
- Update at least once a month
- Be primarily concerned with board and/or card games, in general (generally not only war games, minis, or RPGs)
- Contain content of general interest to the world, and not simply list new inventory for a company
- Post primarily in English; there are plenty of non-English sites around the web on this topic, but I don't track them
The list is located on the sideboard of my blog. I just dropped fifteen blogs/podcasts from my list. But don't despair; I have another fifteen I'm adding since the last update:
