Heavy Cardboard

Heavy Cardboard is a podcast & YouTube channel hosted by Edward Uhler, a board gaming hobbyist who is passionate about medium & heavy strategy games.

The focus of the channel is on live teaching, full play-throughs, and roundtable discussions of various games. There is no better way to interact with Edward and the rest of The Herd than joining one of the live-streams and being a part of The Peanut Gallery! And let’s not forget the in-depth, long-form interviews with various board game industry professionals as well.

There is also the podcast where in most episodes, Edward and a guest will feature a healthy, in-depth discussion on one medium or heavy game.

In the end, while this is Edward’s chosen profession, his goal is to share his enjoyment with viewers & listeners. So tune in, enjoy the games, and have fun! And please give us your feedback about the podcast, the live-streams, the games, and Heavy Cardboard in general! Happy gaming, y’all!
