Meeples & Wine 28 – Blackheart & Brawl

Meeples & Wine 28 – Blackheart & Brawl

Welcome to almost the end of the #NaPodPoMo month with episode 28! This time it’s Michael rolling solo one last time, with only 2 shows left to go before midnight! It’s a nail-biter of will they/won’t they?! He’s tasting Bell’s Black Hearted Ale, a darker than sin, IPA that in all honesty he didn’t think that he would enjoy, spoilers. He’s talking about the card game Brawl from 1999, a “A real-time card game of brawling martial artists.” where you’ve got everything from goth-waitresses, to catgirl fighters all going at it in a free for all fight to win three bases! It doesn’t sound too crazy, but considering that every game lasts roughly 30 seconds, it gets nuts pretty fast!

Meeples & Wine #8! – SOLO WITH THE BASTARD!

Meeples & Wine #8! – SOLO WITH THE BASTARD!

Today Michael is running alone! Yes! He’s solo and without anyone to tell him what to do! So what does he do…well, samples Founder French Toast Bastard and talks about VonStiehl wineries in Algoma, Wisconsin, and then tells about “Before I Kill You, Mr. Spy” the card game from Cheapass Games, founded by James Ernest! (great game company BTW.)
