Hi! Matt here. Thanks for joining me at Don’t Eat the Meeples, a weekly newsletter about the exciting world of board games.

I send weekly emails from me covering a variety of topics around board games and card games, from deep dives on mechanics to broad looks at my favorite topics and plenty of places in between. Whether we’re looking at new takes on trick-taking, great games for two players, or interviewing game designers, Don’t Eat the Meeples aims to provide a deeper look while focusing on bringing new players into the hobby.
