The Hungry Meeple

Explore Marrakesh, both in a captivating board game and in the real world, in this episode. The game of Marrakesh immerses you in the vibrant streets and culture of this Moroccan jewel. We take you on a journey beyond the game, sharing culinary delights inspired by Marrakesh's traditions, from aromatic tagines to refreshing mint tea.

In this action selection game, different city sectors offer various actions, with the catch that their strength depends on "keshis" in the area. Players draft keshis, but randomness from a tower adds a twist. We discuss strategies, anecdotes, and tips for navigating this dynamic game.

Join us for a unique blend of culture, gameplay, and delicious food. Elevate your game nights, savor Marrakesh's magic, and master this one-of-a-kind action selection game with us!
