  • Potion Panic and Three Lakes Winery Blueberry Wine
    May 14 2024
    We're back and this week we're reviewing Rocket House Games' Potion Panic a frantic race to become the Alchemist a la Mode by completing potion recipe's components, smashing vials to get more cards in your hand or to deny your opponents those super valuable crystals! Ten crystals gets you the Philosopher's Stone, which wins you the game and grants you powers beyond explanation in the next game (well, there is a card that explains them...). How does Potion Panic rate on our Fun scale? How does is rate on our Couch Score (how likely it is for Michael to wind up sleeping on the couch due to the game?) We also taste a 100% blueberry wine from Three Lakes Winery in Wisconsin. Made from whole ripe blueberries, this isn't a "blueberry flavored wine beverage" but the real thing!

  • Fallout: The Board Game and Do Epic Shit Red Blend
    Apr 30 2024
    Welcome to another episode of Meeples and Wine! This time we'll be discussing Fallout: The Board Game while drinking Do Epic Shit - 2021 Red Wine Blend from Browne Family Vineyards. The wine is a full-bodied Paso Robles Red Blend with notes of raspberry, cherry, black pepper, and dark chocolate. It pairs well with bold foods. Fallout: The Board Game is a post-nuclear adventure board game for one to four players. Players take on the role of survivors in a wasteland and explore, fight enemies, complete quests, and build their skills. The game is won by whoever comes out ahead by venturing through the game and gaining influence. However, if a single faction is empowered too quickly, everyone loses. The game includes action points, area movement, dice rolling, hand management, modular board, and narrative choice/paragraph mechanics. The podcast episode also talks about Don’t Starve: The Board Game on Kickstarter and ends with the hosts’ contact information and new trivia night.
