This week we take a look at the first game from our recent Kickstarter purchase from Kozz games, Dark Tomb: Crypts of Aurelian, a “super portable” tabletop game (think Altoid’s tin-ish) where 1 to 5 players descend into the tombs to reclaim the Amulet of Fire to save Gorriah! It’s got all the cubes you want, and a multiple play-through setup so no two games are the same!

Along with this we’re tasting Chronic Cellars Suite Petite, another suggestion from our wine department friends at our local Binny’s. It’s a Petite Sirah, one of Michael’s favorite varietals!

Don’t forget to check out this week’s final call, Misty Valley from Grumlin Games!

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.

We’re returning to the world of Dice Throne this week, and we’re playing the Seraph vs Vampire Lord! It’s a battle between the forces of darkness as the Vampire Lord attempts to steal your health and subdue you with glamour and the force of goodness that is the Seraph as just her being near you does damage to you with Holy Presence! If you’d like to hear our previous show where we dig into the ruleset more than strategy you can find the Cursed Pirate v Artificer show HERE.

We also taste Chateau d’Esclans Whispering Angel Rosé, a wonderful summertime wine that we regret not finding earlier in the year!

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.
