About this listen

Welcome to The Tabletop Minimalist!

In our very first episode, Jamie and Ricky introduce themselves and explore the philosophy of board game minimalism. What does it mean to have a small, carefully curated collection? How can minimalism help you enjoy your games more while avoiding the overwhelm of an ever-growing backlog and the constant wave of new releases?

We break down common misconceptions about minimalism, define what it means for us in the context of board gaming, and discuss Jamie’s Geeklist - a practical framework for curating a minimalist collection. Finally, in our Wildcard Segment, we challenge ourselves by revealing our guilty pleasures - games we love that don’t fit our minimalist philosophy.
