  • #135 - Knight School - Area Control
    Sep 4 2023

    We're resetting the game board on Meeple Knights and delving deep into the intricate world of area control. This knight school session promises to turbocharge your understanding of area control mechanisms and how they function in games, both classic and contemporary. Using examples from chess, Risk, Onitama, and Small World, we dissect the eight different types of area control. The discussion ignites a lively debate on each mechanism's definition and application, and it's sure to spark some revelations for you too.

    As we round off the session, we engross ourselves in an enlightening discourse about the battle mechanics in area control games. Yes, we're going there - to that controversial assertion that the defender always loses in a fight. We debate over the definition of a battle, its outcome, and how area control can be broken down into various subcategories. Brace yourselves for a rollercoaster of a discussion. And rest assured, we'll be back next week with a top 10 list of our favorite area control games. Make sure you're tuned in for that one!

  • #133 - Top 10 Board Games We Hate
    Aug 21 2023

    You think you know board games? Well, we've got news for you. Even the most seasoned gamers among you will cringe when we drop the names of our top 10 most despised games. Yes, you heard it right. We're rocking the boat, Doug and Amber, in this outrageously candid episode of Meeple Knights where we lay bare our criticisms on the games that have driven us up the wall. Mental Blocks, Sheriff of Nottingham, we're calling you out! 

    Brace yourselves, folks, as we take you through a whirlwind of games that missed the mark for us. We've got Hashtag It, Floor Plan,  and Forbidden Sky on our radar, and boy do we have a lot to say! But before you dismiss us as mere critics, let us assure you - we love board games! But we also believe in a good debate. Whether it's Talisman or Piraten Kapern, we're here to tell our stories and share our experiences, no matter how controversial they might be. 

    And oh, did we mention we are just getting started? Next week, we're taking on the Y games, and trust us when we say it's going to be a discussion you won't want to miss. Games might come and go, but our love for a good debate is here to stay. So buckle up and join us on this rollicking roller coaster ride through the wild world of board games. Because at the end of the day, all's fair in love, war, and... board games!
