Welcome to my world of board games…

The goal of The Meeple Digest is to provide an outlet for my thoughts on the latest games I’ve been playing. These could be new releases, classics, hidden gems, or just ones that I find compelling. The format of posts will largely be in the form of pros, cons, and my general opinions on games. However, my posts will likely not follow the same format as traditional reviews, but rather serve as a quick overview and my own personal opinions on the game. In addition to gaming highlights, I may post the occasional top 10 list or discuss my current favorite games. Whether you are new to board games or a seasoned veteran to the hobby, the aim is that this content will encourage you to try new games and share your own perspective. As always, while we may not always share the same feelings toward a game, I hope this site encourages you to branch out and try new games, share gaming stories, and invite your friends to the hobby of board gaming.

Hope you enjoy!
