Welcome to Meeples & Wine! Tonight Michael and Suzy talk about Flat Top Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2018, a light “not as citrus as they describe” wine that still was pretty good. We also talk about Phil and Kaja Foglio’s Girl Genius: The Works, a game that originated from the “adults only” XXXenophile TCG from 1996. Also, a super cool badge goes to Dave C. out at Blubrry, for getting things fixed up for us to keep posting through #napodpomo!

Welcome to episode 15 of Meeples & Wine’s #napodpomo month! We’re talking about a Coconut Ale today, made by…Michael’s brother. Didn’t have time to run out today, and we’ve been meaning to break that open. Also, we discuss our favorite zombie movies, ranging from Shaun of the Dead, Warm Bodies to Pontypool, Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead and Train to Busan. The game today is Steve Jackson Game’s Zombie Dice !

Also, yes, Michael knows he got the lyrics wrong, they’re “Want some whiskey in your water? Sugar in your tea?” from Three Dog Night’s Mama Told Me Not To Come.

Meeples & Wine 13 – Rallies & Robots

By |

Welcome to episode 13! Today we’re going to be skipping the wine tasting since Suzy has recovered from being a sicky all day and we don’t want to repeat. But, we are talking about rallies and…rallies? We’re talking about Road Rallies! Getting in the car, answering questions and getting to those locations first to get the clue to the next one, all to get to the Ground Round restaurant first! We’ve both participated and ran rallies in the past so we’ve got some comments! We also talk about the 1993 RoboRally and some other Richard Garfield games, then compare it to the most recent 2016 version!

Just an aside, the rally team that I was talking about in the show no longer exists, but I did find this one! https://www.ramblerrallies.com/ which looks pretty cool too!
