Sunday, June 8, 2025 • Duration 01:14:42

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.

Episode 16 - 2021: For Better Or Worse?

Sunday, January 10, 2021 • Duration 59:05

Hello 2021!! Hopefully we can have a better year but it's certainly not getting off to the best start outside of gaming is it? I'll talk about some channel updates and my life in general first, then give you two reviews of 7 Wonders: Agora and New York Zoo. Then I'll skim over some upcoming releases of 2021 and give my thoughts as to what I'm looking forward to.

Episode 15 - Looking Back & Ahead

Sunday, December 20, 2020 • Duration 01:09:41

Possibly the most heart-felt I've been during a podcast! On this bumper length end episode marking the last podcast put out for 2020, I take a look back over the channel and what I've achieved (or not) throughout this year, reflecting on my experiences what worked/didn't work. Has the channel grown or do the views say otherwise? While talking about that I'll also lay on some plans set in motion for what the channel can offer in 2021. After that I'll reflect on some games of 2020 - not my "best" game as that's on my recent Top 10 list, but discussing my top surprise, disappointment, reprint, expansion and of course, the worst game I've played in 2020. There's a lot of discussion from the heart in this episode especially my final apology at the end. Here's to a brighter future in 2021! Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!!

Episode Fourteen - The Mini Cull Of Games

Sunday, December 6, 2020 • Duration 38:01

To make room on the shelves I had to sell off a bunch of games from the collection. So many that I think it was worth talking about my reasons why in a podcast episode! So after I talk about some channel updates, I'll explain why all these games didn't have what it takes to remain on the shelf.

Episode Thirteen - Review Anthology II

Sunday, November 22, 2020 • Duration 56:44

It's that time of year when I can't cover every game with a full review, so here's another review anthology where I will talk about 4 recent releases. Truffle Shuffle, Arkham Horror LCG: Innsmouth, Paris and The Search for Planet X all get their fair share! Come hear what I have to say! On top of that, there's some more developments for the channel in general such as my recent Top 10, my name change for the solo playthroughs and my recent subscription to Streamyards.

Episode Twelve - Into the Oniverse

Sunday, November 8, 2020 • Duration 43:46

Lockdown has begun in the UK which means I need help with my sanity again. Well the podcast is one way to do it! But also plenty of solo gaming! So for this episode I thought I would look at the Oniverse series of games and rank them in order of my preference. On top of this some developments have happened with regards to my latest Patreon goal and I give my first impressions of Isle of Cats, both multiplayer and solo mode. 00:00 - Introduction & Channel Updates 08:25 - Kickstarters (Pursuit of Happiness / Freedom Five) 17:10 - New Games and Isle of Cats First Impressions 23:50 - Into the Oniverse (ranking the games) 41:56 - Wrap Up

Episode Eleven - House Rules (Yay or Nay?)

Sunday, October 25, 2020 • Duration 49:33

Is the game not good enough for you? Do you feel it needs a tweak here or there for your own enjoyment? Then feel free to introduce a house rule. But should you do so? Should you tell everyone at the table? What house rules work better than others? What examples are there? All this and more is part of the main discussion topic. Before then though we have a call to action on the Patreon to allow multi-user streaming, my play of Stockpile, my first impressions of the Shadowed Paths expansion to LOTR: Journey's in Middle Earth and how my week has been in general.

Episode Ten - Issues with My LCG's

Sunday, October 11, 2020 • Duration 44:27

Lots of content on this episode including 3 reviews and some discussion. First up, my reflection of the Top 100 saga and channel updates! Then 3 reviews covering the following games: Village Green Quirky Circuits Marvel Champions: The Once & Future Kang And finally I want to mention some warnings with my favourite LCG's. I love these games immensely, but no game is flawless and before you suddenly jump in and start buying them, maybe you should listen to my personal issues with each game just in case. . . .
