Meeple Overboard!

Hindisght to June of 2017!  This month in history, Wonder Woman outperforms Transformers: Last Knight at the box office.  And good thing too! Eesh!  But also, we reviewed a few games back then that we're going to look at with 2 more years of experience.  Most of these particular games aren't still in our collection anymore. Do you have any thoughts on our reasoning? Want to hear from you if you still love these games.

It's time to ketchup with your pals Wendy and Chris. Get it?  Ketchup?  Catch up?  That's been the joke this whole time. We talk about Dominion Rennaissance, Aloe Vera, Vinhos, Escape Plan, and more!  Come catch up with another good month of ours.

They're tiny, they're towny, and they're all a little looney. Welcome to Tiny Towns adventures, get a dose of comedy!  We review this simple and quick game by AEG and Peter McPherson, as well as discuss the recent Spiel Des Jahres nominees. What are your thoughts on the picks! Chat with us on twitter, or on our board game geek guild at https://boardgamegeek.com/guild/2946

Per request of the public, it's time that Meeple Overboard officially declares the best games for two players on the planet!  At least in our opinion of the planet. Check 'em out!

Back in May 2017, Ed Sheeran had the number 1 song in the US, but not everything was bad. We reviewed a few big titles that now in 2019, we are doing our hindsight reviews of them. Fugitive, Airlines Europe, Ethnos, and 7 Wonders are all up at bat as we look at our thoughts on these games 2 years later!

Guest Dan Hughes, Titan of the Internet, joins us to talk about mental health, anxiety, depression, and board games.

What does planting a few acres of trees, fish ice cream, and board games have in common?? They're on this week's episode of Meeple Overboard! This week, we're doing the Monthly Ketchup as our weekly episode as it's been a very busy week. Enjoy!

Hey, if you want spoilers for Aeon's End Legacy, come and get them!  We review, in great detail, this excellent legacy game that we're happy to have played. But what made it great?  And what may not have worked so well for us?  Come and see!

Legacy games? Deck building games? Who would dare combine them? Who would dare review them?  We will, of course!  Aeon's End Legacy is the 3rd installment of a popular deck building game franchise, and the first one to feature a cohesive campaign throughout. We'll tell you what we think.  Keep an eye out over the next week as we will also release a spoiler-filled review as well.

What do Elder Sign, Unfair, World's Fair 1893, Adrenaline, and Kingdomino all have in common?  We reviewed them all 2 years ago. So in today's hindisght, we look back at our thoughts on them now. Want to see how games hold up 2 years after review? You're in the right place!

Is it true that we've got Danny from Danny and Derek do Board Games on the show? You bet your bippy!  Some games have awesome components that are unlike anything else you've seen that are worth checking out. We each recommend our Top 5. Enjoy, and share with us some of your favorite, unique components!

Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig is like chocolate in peanut butter. Except it's tile drafting in a bizarre castle. It works.

We also talk about what makes some campaign games click while others don't, and we also learn a little bit about the history of Mr. Crapper ...a real person.

Hong Kong has suffered a blackout, and the power hasn't come back on yet. It's been days, maybe weeks, so it's time to step in and help your fellow man. And maybe make some money and prestige along the way. We review Blackout Hong Kong by Alexander Pfister, and discuss our experience at Dice Tower West along with some highlight games. The con was great, and looking forward to next years already!

Bonus Episode! Wendy and Chris invite you to come catch up with us and the exciting news and games that graced us in February of 2019.

We're going to talk about it, since we haven't as of yet. And then we'll talk about why the spelling and the pronunciation of February don't align.

Time to revisit our reviews from two years ago. Istanbul, Medieval Academy, Codenames, and A Feast For Odin were the games we looked at then. Have our opinions changed or grown? Do we still own those games? How do we feel about them today? All answered on today's episode of Meeple Overboard!

The Monthly Ketchup is a bonus episode we're doing each month where we are going over some highlights of the games we've played, recent news about us, and anything else we want to discuss for a bit.
