Don't call it a comeback. Or do. We're not the boss of you. But whatever you call it, Meeple Overboard is back on the air. We return to talk about the personal chaos of the last month and Chris beginning working full-time for the Dice Tower, and also we review Tapestry Plots and Ploys expansion by Stonemaier Games. Enjoy!

Welcome to the episode 200 spectacular of Meeple Overboard!  Two! Hundred! Episodes!  To celebrate, we're joined by special guest Jordan Hopper of the No Cube Zone for what the Brother's Murph have coined as the "One In a Hundred" list. We went through the Board Game Geek dot com rankings and chose our favorite game out of each page of 100 games. Therefore, out of the top 1,000 games, we were FORCED to chose 10 games spread fairly evenly throughout. It's great because it means we talk about games that seldom otherwise get mentioned. Enjoy!Yes, we know this was supposed to be posted as the last episode in 2020. A whole lot of life happened. We'll discuss it in the next episode of the show after we accidentally took our January hiatus early. All will be resolved. Enjoy the first new episode in like a month!

This week your favorite boys traveled overseas to visit the bustling port city of Yokohama - who knew 1868 Japan could be so much fun? In Yokohama, each player is a merchant broadening their sales channels, investing in technology and completing contracts. Only one player comes out on top and (spoiler) ... it wasn't Campbell! Also this episode: Rob and Josh road-tripped to BGG Con and didn't kill each other (we think), Disney+ is a thing and Chris from Meeple Overboard is here to help with a new segment!

Episode 17 Patrick & Eric discuss favorite and less than ideal board game expansions. Board Game Gumbo upcoming show www.facebook.com/boardgamegumbo Tuesday 10/29/19 at 9:30 EST. Meeple Overboard sent out a tweet asking for your top 5 expansions. Their response was that they had only played one of mine - so I guess we need to talk about them here.   Discuss Extensions vs Expansions, Expand alone (such as Ticket to Ride Europe) Patrick: Power Grid: any map. More of the best game ever. Pandemic: On the Brink added roles & play modes. Ticket to Ride: USA 1910. Bigger cards & more routes Flash Point: Fire Rescue Urban Structures & 2nd Story. More options & characters & tokens. Lord of Vegas UP Wits and Wagers - Vegas playmat - expands  Wits & Wagers Party  Eric: Marvel: Legendary -- Most of them, as the base game is FAR too easy without any of the expansion masterminds. Jamaica: The Crew -- Actually makes the game easier to teach as it simplifies the treasures. Raiders of the North Sea: Hall of Heroes -- Love the addition of the mead hall, great for adding a little extra to the game. Sprawlopolis: Beaches -- Love the added spatial restrictions and that it makes the city a bit bigger. Lords of Waterdeep: Scoundrels of Skullport -- Basically, the blueprint for how to make a good expansion. Adds interesting decisions without adding too much complexity and very little rules overhead. Clank -- New maps are great if you play a lot. Keeps the game from getting stale. Summoner Wars -- But this gets away from the true meaning of expansions, as any two factions play standalone. This is more of the serialized LCG content model. Mixed Bag: Kingdomino: Age of Giants -- Like the additional scoring bonuses, meh on the actual Giants King of Tokyo: Power Up -- Yay, the monsters are now all unique! Boo, now some of them seem much stronger than others! Carcassonne: The Catapult - stupid fun El Grande - King and Intrigue are for experienced players only Dislike: 7 Wonders: Leaders -- I don’t feel this adds enough to the game to justify the extra draft in the beginning of the game. Castles of Mad King Ludwig: Secrets -- I love the base game, but it doesn’t need this extra stuff. Tracking swans isn’t adding fun to the game. Can't Stop: Rolling down the highway - why does this need to exist? Francis Tresham memorial

Carpe Diem is the latest Stefan Feld game, and we're here to review it. Spoilers, it's ugly as sin. But, is there a good engine underneath the layers of poor paint and uncaring production? And what in the world is with the trailer for the upcoming Cats movie?  This and more, on Meeple Overboard!

Time to revisit our reviews from two years ago. Istanbul, Medieval Academy, Codenames, and A Feast For Odin were the games we looked at then. Have our opinions changed or grown? Do we still own those games? How do we feel about them today? All answered on today's episode of Meeple Overboard!

This episode, we revisit some reviews we did two years ago! As they always say, hindsight is worth two in the bush before gift horses hatch. We want to start making this a recurring item, to revisit our review to games that we have previously done. How have our opinions changed in that time? Do we still own the game, or have we even played it since then? Also, we give some tips and pointers to newcomers to board game conventions, as we figured it could be useful.

Happy Thanksgiving from us here at Meeple Overboard!  In today's episode, we describe just a few of the reasons we're grateful to be in the hobby in our Thanksgaming segment.  Then we talk about the rich history of butter  (rich, get it?  eh?  eh?), and instead of a single review, we're doing 8 mini reviews all cram packed into about a minute each.  The fans picked the games to compare, so if you want us to try this again and you have a recommendation, then share it with us!

In episode 21 of Meeple Overboard, we realize we hadn't recorded enough episodes to get us through the week that we'd be up at Salt Lake Gaming Con in Utah, so we recorded in the car drive with our friends Kyle and Whitney.  Big shout out to them for guest starring in our episode, and our apologies for all the background driving noises during the episode.  We hope you still enjoy, even though the audio quality is rather different than in our home studio!  It's some really fun discussion as we talk about our hopes going in, and what came out of the first day!  Enjoy, and we'll put up a Part 2 as well.  And then we'll return to our regular format in by next Saturday, we promise!
