Everyday Meeple

Everyday Meeple is a show about board games. That simple and that vague. Each week Steve and Mitch talk about the hobby they love. Sometimes they talk about the games they’ve been playing or the art and mechanics that bring those games to life. Some conversations drift through the history of board games or focus on a particular designer. If you love board games or are just getting interested you are bound to find something in their conversations. Everyday Meeple is the show where everyday people talk about everything meeple.

Welcome back. Or maybe just welcome. On this episode, Steve and Mitch talk about rulebooks. Really they just scratch the surface because that is a really huge topic. Too big to ramble about the whole of it in an hour. On a side note, the Kathryn that Steve and I mention on the show is @ kathrynedowell on Instagram. Besides being an avid gamer and an up and coming designer she is also an all-around positive force in the hobby and o...

In this episode, the conversation is about video games and how they intersect with board games. Mostly we focus on how the video game industry often creates a board game from successful game IPs and, well, what we think about that. Some games that come up are Undermining and Super Motherload, Mechs vs Minions, Doom, Descent, Dark Souls, Slay the Spire, God of War among others, nothing overly in-depth just a fun conversation. Mista...

With Steve taking a break for a while Ryan Delnick of Spider Dog Crafting sits in and we discuss the shared DNA of Risk and D&D and we talk about what lead Ryan to his current work crafting D&D terrain and painting minis. CORRECTIONS: ** At one point I refer to a game called Lord of the Rings: Journey of the Ring - OOPS - That is called LOTR: Journeys in Middle Earth. I should have just glanced at my shelf before talking there. *...

While we’ve only played a small sampling of his games, the art, mec...

In this episode we try and tackle deck-building but it is such a vast topic that we really just scratch a small itch on the surface. A brief time-line from the explosive force that was Magic: The Gathering to the emergence of a new mechanic through Donald X Vaccarino's Dominion. There is so much to love with deck-building and so little time in our show to give it the attention it deserves. Some of the games we bring up: MTG, Domi...
