Broken Meeple Podcast - Episode 116 - MANORCON & ESSEN PREVIEW LIST

It's been a while but we're back on normal service. I've spent 4 days at Manorcon and can give my full thoughts on how it went. And we now have an Essen Preview list of games coming out - now it's early days, but I'm going to have a look at some of the hottest "thumbed" games and see what the potential is for Essen Spiel 2025. And as a side chat, my first impressions of Endeavour Deep Sea.

Who Am I?

One single batchelor from the UK talking about his passion for board games and the people who play them! I support small content creators, board game cafes and go against the status quo when it comes to the board game industry. I give my honest opinions without bias towards any publishers or designers and will not hold back if I don't like a game.

The Broken Meeple is a variety channel that hosts all kinds of board game content from reviews to Top 10 lists to playthroughs to live stream collaborations with special guests (predominantly small channels who deserve more exposure).

I look forward to engaging with you, the community on my live streams or in the comments on my videos!

Broken Meeple Podcast - Episode 115 - UK GAMES EXPO 2025

Sorry everyone, the microphone for some reason recorded my voice way too loud and I can only do so much to fix it, so it will sound a bit distorted this time round. Not sure why, but sad to say I can't do much more about the current recording - will check set up before next recording. I hope however you can still enjoy the episode.

I give my honest opinions without bias towards any publishers or designers and will not hold back if I don't like a game.

The Broken Meeple is a variety channel that hosts all kinds of board game content from reviews to Top 10 lists to playthroughs to live stream collaborations with special guests (predominantly small channels who deserve more exposure).

I look forward to engaging with you, the community on my live streams or in the comments on my videos!
