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

The Broken Meeple Show - Episode 42 - Too Much Effort For Solo

On today's episode there is not much news to speak of, so instead you're getting 2 full reviews and a solid discussion topic as given by one of my amazing Patreons. 

I will talk in detail about Roll Player Adventures and Mortum (without spoiling of course) and hint at an upcoming first impressions video for Procyon III. After that I'll go back to solo gaming where I've been asked the question "how much effort are you willing to put in for heavy solo games"?

00:00 - Introduction, General Wellbeing, New Job & Upcoming Content
10:58 - Express Review - Mortum
23:47 - Express Review - Roll Player Adventures
39:20 - What Is Too Much Effort For A Heavy Solo Game?

Episode 42 - Too Much Effort For Solo

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!

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!

Episode 114 - What Gets Me Excited?

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.

Broken Meeple Podcast - Episode 116 - MANORCON & ESSEN PREVIEW LIST

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 116 - MANORCON & ESSEN PREVIEW LIST

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

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.

Episode 124 - Do You Want Fixed Turns or Variable Endgames?

Another convention out of the way! What games did I play at Handycon 6 - was there actually any new game I played that I would consider a good one?

Then a lengthy discussion about board games that have been ported into apps. Are there occasions where the app kills the physical game? Will apps get to a point where tabletop gaming becomes a thing of the past? Will social interaction win through?

00:30 - Introduction
02:40 - Handycon Games Played
29:34 - Will Apps Replace Board Games?

S03 - E09 - Hands & Replacements

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.

If you like what you hear, please subscribe to the podcast RSS feed and consider supporting The Broken Meeple on Patreon to keep the show running.

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?!

The Broken Meeple - a UK Board Games blog and podcast that reports on board and card games. Reviews, Top 5/10 lists, or just anything that's on my mind! One thing is for sure - I don't hold back and will speak my mind! 

In addition to this podcast I have a  YouTube channel that showcases review videos and Top 10 lists. Please feel free to check them out!
