Where to jump in on board games, anime, books, and movies as a Nerd
For the past couple of years, I’ve gone through and talked about my top fives in a bunch of different categories at the end of the year. No different this year as I look back at what I’ve read/watched/played, and come up with my 2019…
New video up on the Malts and Meeples Youtube/Twitch channel. It is a bit shorter game than some, but it’s also not game play, it’s just an unboxing of Tainted Grail. Tainted Grail is a big story driven game from Awaken Realms who have done…
Last night I started in on some D&D Content on my Twitch Channel that is now up on Youtube as well. I meant for it to be a video about what D&D is, but I was a bit all over the place.
I think that when it comes down to it, the point that I hammer home about it being a fun collaborative storytelling game, that is at the heart of what good D&D, for me, can be. But that also doesn’t teach or explain some of the more mechanical aspects of Dungeons and Dragons. So that will be a future video that explains more of that.
My “malt” for the night was actually a hard cider from Sociable Cider Works out of Minneapolis, MN. It’s a solid cider with a rich flavor. However, I’m not a big fan of sweet ciders, and while Training Wheels is not the sweetest cider, it was a little bit sweet for my taste.

We’re back again, now time for the disclaimer text. These rankings are the opinion of yours truly, and if you don’t like them, that’s okay. We all have different tastes in games and that is great. There are some games that I’ve only played as…
Back with another Kickstarted, so many different projects that I talked about and a ton of cool ones out there. In fact, there were enough that it took me an hour and 20 minutes to get through it all. That was almost enough time to…
No game tonight, but I open up my copy of Zombicide Green Horde from CMON. I won the game from All Systems Go in Minneapolis, Minnesota with their 1 year anniversary sale. I plan on playing through the intro scenario in an upcoming stream.
Tonight’s beer is from Founders, their Dark, Rich, and Sexy Porter. It has a good robust taste to it and isn’t too sweet, which too many porters are. I don’t know that it’s one of my favorite dark beers, but I an many ways really look for those high ABV or barrel aged dark beers that help you feel warm in the winter.
Bottoms up!
Join me as I take on the Dresden Files Cooperative Card Game. I take a crack at the first scenario, Storm Front, based off of the Dresden Files book by Jim Butcher of the same name. This game is a cooperative game that plays well…
So this is a game that I got to the table recently and had a blast playing. If you want to see a playthrough of it, you can go to the Malts and Meeples Youtube Channel or I have it on the site here. I…
I was back against last night with some Malts and Meeples, this time I was actually get to a playthrough of Aeon’s End: War Eternal from Indie Boards & Cards and Action Phase.
Aeon’s End: War Eternal is a deck building game where you are protecting your city of Gravehold from whatever Nemesis is attacking it. The first time you play it, they recommend that you play against the Umbra Titan, the easiest nemesis. So I took it on in a two player battle to see if I was able to out last it before it would destroy the foundation of our town.
As for my brew, I had Horizon Red IPA from Summit Brewery. It had been sitting in my fridge for a while, so I feel from what I remember of the beer it wasn’t as bitter as it could have been, but it was still enjoyable to drink.

Trying my hand at this for the first time to see how it goes to unbox something. Also, this was supposed to have gone up on Twitch, but I had issues where it said it was streaming there and it didn’t. You can find me…
