Broken Meeple Episode 4 - 3 Rogues, A Wizard And A Cleric

Special episode today! I figured instead of doing a podcast episode for the aftermath of visiting Essen Spiel, I decided to do a live stream on YouTube. If you want to check that out in full please visit the channel.

But here for you there's an audio only version if you want to listen to it in podcast form! I go over Essen, the fair, the people, the games and questions from the chat! Enjoy!

Episode 36 - THE LIVE ESSEN SPECIAL!

The Broken Meeple Show - Episode 71 - The Broken Meeple Show - Episode 71 - Golden Geek Awards Rant

CAUTION - this episode may have strong opinions!

After some concerns with channel growth, the route that content creation is taking for everyone these days and some hot news, I go into.........well a giant rant at the Golden Geek Awards. Easily the awards I give the least credibility to and looking at the winners this time round.........not much has changed.

UK Games Expo 2024 - Full Report Special!

The UKGE 2024 is over and there was plenty to talk about in terms of games, experiences and people I saw. So much so that I recorded over 90 minutes of footage talking about it. So I can't do a 90 minute video, that's insane! 

So I recorded two videos on my Youtube channel to go over it all. But you out there in podcast land get to have the entire report in one big audio special! You'll notice a difference in format because it's originally made for YouTube, but I hope you enjoy!

Episode 95 - Euro Gamers Don't Screw Other Players

Right no audio issues this time!! Here I talk about:

- general health, plans, etc
- first impressions and concerns over Inventors of the South Tigris
- the recent trademark controversy of Meeple
- the lacklustre Spiel Des Jahres nominations
- why Euro players don't hate-draft or screw others enough in Euro games and why using that as a defense for bad runaway leader design simply doesn't work

Who Am I?

One single batchelor from the UK talking about his passion for board games and the people who play them! I support small content creators, board game cafes and go against the status quo when it comes to the board game industry. I give my honest opinions without bias towards any publishers or designers and will not hold back if I don't like a game.

The Broken Meeple is a variety channel that hosts all kinds of board game content from reviews to Top 10 lists to playthroughs to live stream collaborations with special guests (predominantly small channels who deserve more exposure).

I look forward to engaging with you, the community on my live streams or in the comments on my videos!

I support small content creators, board game cafes and go against the status quo when it comes to the board game industry. I give my honest opinions without bias towards any publishers or designers and will not hold back if I don't like a game.

The Broken Meeple is a variety channel that hosts all kinds of board game content from reviews to Top 10 lists to playthroughs to live stream collaborations with special guests (predominantly small channels who deserve more exposure).

I look forward to engaging with you, the community on my live streams or in the comments on my videos!

Broken Meeple Podcast - Episode 115 - UK GAMES EXPO 2025

Sorry everyone, the microphone for some reason recorded my voice way too loud and I can only do so much to fix it, so it will sound a bit distorted this time round. Not sure why, but sad to say I can't do much more about the current recording - will check set up before next recording. I hope however you can still enjoy the episode.

It's been a while but we're back on normal service. I've spent 4 days at Manorcon and can give my full thoughts on how it went. And we now have an Essen Preview list of games coming out - now it's early days, but I'm going to have a look at some of the hottest "thumbed" games and see what the potential is for Essen Spiel 2025. And as a side chat, my first impressions of Endeavour Deep Sea.

Broken Meeple Podcast - Episode 117 - BOARDGAMEGEEK TOP 100 (100-51)

Mainly just want to have a chat guys, talk about some games played and answer a few questions from the mailbag. However two of the questions have a strong link to "Integrity" when conducting reviews and I certainly do talk a lot about that. So it makes for a good title for the podcast!

Hear my thoughts on the Wingspan expansion, Ishtar and Tokyo Metro! And then 4 very interesting questions from the community mailbag!

Season 4 Episode 3 - Maintaining Integrity

We got some new segments debuting on today's show!

Firstly a summary of how life is progressing under the Coronavirus restrictions for someone who doesn't like being stuck at home. . . 

Then my first impressions of Rune Stones and Silver & Gold.

Followed by the first new segment "Movers & Shakers" where I talk about games that have risen or fallen in their ratings and explain why.

Finally the second new segment "Mechanics" where I talk about my favourite game mechanics, explaining why I love them so much and give examples of games where they feature prominently in my collection.

Season 4 Episode 4 - Swiss Army Cards

Doesn't isolation just suck?!

Ah well once I've moaned about how I'm coping as an extrovert with isolation, I can talk about gaming matters! 

Firstly my thoughts on Dominant Species which I played literally last night for the first time on Tabletopia........was it worth the 5 hours of investment?

Second, a quick snippet on my fears for how the gaming industry is going to return to normal with regards to releases.

Thirdly a kind contributor has given me a few cool questions to answer for Q & A including how I came up with the Broken Meeple name and why is theme so important to me in a game?

Season 4 Episode 5 - Isolation Woes

Talk about hot off the press! The Golden Geek Awards for 2019 were just released. Now granted, I don't tend to rely on the rating or award systems governed by BoardGameGeek, but that doesn't stop me from giving my thoughts!

So I will take you through each award (that I can fairly comment on) giving you the winners and runners up and some of the nominations that I feel should have been given more love. 

Afterwards, I have 3 more questions from the mail bag including thoughts on a rather controversial "solo gaming" video released by others recently. . . . .

Season 4 Episode 6 - Golden Geek Awards 2019

It's been a while due to a mix of reasons, mainly because of my daily YouTube content I've put out to keep you all sane (or not) during COVID. But it's time you got an update as to what else I've been doing as there's plenty going on behind the scenes. 

In addition there are few interesting app/PNP additions to some games that are worth a discussion and at the end, there's my final 3 questions for the Q & A.........please submit more questions! :P

Season 4 Episode 7 - What's Been Happening?!
