Meeple Overboard! is a podcast about board games, the gaming community, and our little slice of heaven that plays them. We're Chris and Wendy, and we love board games. Each Saturday, we'll bring you a half-hour episode featuring three segments:
1. Shop Talk! We'll discuss a general board gaming topic, answer your questions, or discuss some news.
2. Random Rally! We've got lots of interests, and eat lots of tasty things, and have a lot to share. Random Rally! is a few minutes of food for thought on a different topic each week.
3. Game Time! Let's dive into a game and tell you what we think about it. We love playing a wide, wide variety of games, so there's lots to review. We'll even take some recommendations.
Join us each Saturday for some fun conversation! Contribute to the conversation on our Facebook and Instagram pages or by email. Send us any questions you'd like us to answer.
