The Inquisitive Meeple reviews Burger Up.
“Avast ye, mateys! Hoist the main sails! Ready the cannons and bring her about!” Okay, Fairway isn’t a pirate. And coming up with those phrases alone stretched his pirate-speak knowledge. But today, he picks up Rattle Battle: Grab the Loot the dice-filled, pirate game from Portal Games.
In episode 43, we get a little shady in a 2-4 player game called Dodgy Dealers. Players will attempt to be the first to collect four genuine paintings made by their contracted artist.
Fairway definitely has something for games with rainbows. Red7 is no different, except that this rainbow really knows how to mess with your hand. See if Fairway manages to find the pot of gold at this end of this rainbow-themed game.
In episode 42 we enter a world full of superheroes in the deckbuilding game called Emergents Genesis! Be the first to defeat your opponents and reduce their health to zero by growing your hand and gaining powerful cards.
Can you get any smaller than a small, purple meeple? We found out when The Inquisitive Meeple looks at four different games that are geared towards toddlers in this Toddler Edition of Meeple-Sized Reviews.
In episode 40, we check out the latest game in Button Shy Games’ Wallet Series, Ahead in the Clouds.
Remember the fun of making your character in games like Skyrim? “Hey you, you’re finally awake; You were trying to cross the border right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush same as us, and that thief over there.” ~ Raloff, from Skyrim. And then five and half minutes later, you finally get to pick your race! Grr… Well, forget loading times and movie sequences. Fairway’s skipping all that frustration and is going play Roll Player, a recent Kickstarter delivery from by Keith Matejka and Thunderworks Games, instead.
In episode 38, we take a look at a take-that card game in which players are monkey generals, duking it out to be the last general standing!
