Casting Shadows and Two Brothers Barrel-Aged Barley Wine

Casting Shadows and Two Brothers Barrel-Aged Barley Wine

Welcome to Meeples and Wine! Your podcast of board game reviews for couples with a drink in hand! This week we’re playing Casting Shadows from Unstable Games, maker of Unstable Unicorns and Happy Little Dinosaurs (you can find our review of that HERE!) We also have a sip of Two Brother’s Cellar Club 2018 Barrel-Aged Barley Wine!

For this week’s Last Call we look at two games on the Kickstarter horizon, first is Lewd Dungeon Adventures: A Date to the Grand Ball an “RPG Dating Sim” for…two or more, your mileage may vary. We also eyeball Granfondo, a cycling/racing game where you manage a team of three, one sprinter, one climber and one long distance cyclist, you mange the draft lines, determine when they’re going to make a break for it, and…dope up and hope you don’t get caught?!

Also we are going to be at the Midwest Gaming Classic again this year hosting the Tabletop Stage! The MGC has been expanding more and more into tabletop and board games, which is great! If you’re going to be in the Milwaukee area on the weekend of the 4-6th, head to their Get Involved page HERE and submit an idea! Be sure to mention us and the Tabletop Stage!

If you’ve got a game that you’d like us to demo get in touch at meeplesandwine@gmail.com, at our Twitter (@Meeplesandwine) or Facebook or if you’d like to leave us a voicemail you can go to

Happy Little Dinosaurs & FRE Wine

Happy Little Dinosaurs & FRE Wine

Welcome to the new year and we are back, as refreshed as we’re going to get, and ready to taste a new bottle of wine and play a game that won’t end up with you and yours in marriage counselling! We recap our month off dealing with racing a storm to southern Illinois for Christmas, playing Kingdominoes and Spaceteam while we were down there, deer sightings and Leg Lamp revelations!

We’re trying to do Dry January by not drinking for the whole month, and to stay with it we try FRE Red Blend, that’s a Alcohol Removed Wine for all you not in the know. Place your bets now on how well this goes off with Michael & Suzy.

The Cutest End of The World You’ve Ever Seen.

This week we’re reviewing Happy Little Dinosaurs from Unstable Games, how the rules scale down to a two player game, where you can find the rules FAQ for the game, and we introduce version one of the Marriage Counseling Game Score. This ranges from “That Was Fun” to “Two CHRISTMASES!” on a scale of 1 to 10, but we’re workshopping it now, it may be 1 through 5 next week but let us know what you think about the scale at our Speakpipe link below or if you’re on mobile just tap the link here!
