MeepleCore Podcast Ep. 169 - What Makes a Good Game? Deluxified or Overproduced? Take That in Board Games

Host Tim Jennette (Metal Meeple), and co-hosts George Breden, James Fitzgerald, and Brian Jennette In this episode, we're asking a pretty simple question… what actually makes a board game good? Is it the mechanics, the theme, the strategy, or just whether everyone at the table is having a good time? And while we're at it, we're tackling another big question in the hobby — do board games really need to be deluxified? Do we need metal coins, upgraded components, giant boxes, and enough miniatures to enlist a small army?  Also, a spicy discussion about Take That in board games! So, gather your game group, grab your dice, crank the meeples to eleven, and let the cardboard adventure begins... enjoy the show!
