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!

Being waiting for this one. Haven't seen it yet, but looks good.

[@tonycork2pa469]

Given the Splendor similarities, should we expect "Sweet Mess Duel" coming down the tracks?

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

Would be interesting.

[@Vadimaster]

Well, you had been asking for new, good gateway games, I guess this one fits the bill.

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

I don't think I'd call this gateway. It's light but I can see people tripping up over some of the smaller rules in it. Splendor is much easier.

[@TheMjdollar]

Literally had a Simpsons and Disney plus advert a second before the Futurama scene 😂

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

He he, well timed!

[@pippagranger8164]

I like the look of this one! My Mum and sister want to play Splendor every time without fail, often having multiple games in a row. Does anyone know when it is expected in the shops?

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

I don't personally - I'm sure Fantasia/Pika could tell you, but I don't think it will be too long.

[@pippagranger8164]

thanks@@TheBrokenMeeple

[@TheAmazingYeti]

I received 10 points! I'm a winner!

[@ralfn9629]

Well, after watching this video, I feel like having cake as well. I just hope it is NOT Portal, were "The Cake Is Not A Lie!" Maybe I shouldn't get this game to avoid having too much appetite for sweet messes! Lol

[@rae7478]

Nice enough, enjoyed playing but have no wish to go and buy as too much of a shelf hog for what it is. Also, haven’t you put this up for sale Luke?

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

Spare copy that was paid for.

[@rae7478]

@@TheBrokenMeeple I had thought it was strange given the review

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

@@rae7478 Wait for the next video after tonight's one, it will be clearer then. 😉

[@daveheasman3680]

Just seen on FB you have sold the game….surprised after such a high rating

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

That was a spare copy I had, my review copy is on my shelf behind me now, you can see it in future vids. 😉

[@chriswinston1223]

Good they resurrected this one from the grave. It was the worst Kickstarter I have been a part of.
