REVIEWING GAMES

I will always give my honest opinion on the board games I play, no matter if I purchased them myself or are provided free of charge for review purposes.


I have played all games I review and I try to play a game at least 3 times and with a number of different player counts before writing a review.


The BoardGameMeeple review format comes is broken down into 4 sections:

  • Game Info
  • Meeple Scoreboard Overview
  • Meeple Metrics
  • Photos inc. short description.

The Meeple Scoreboard scores across five areas and provides an overall score out of 25 Meeples. This can also be score divided by 5 to give a 5 Meeple rating if necessary (rounded down).

The scores cover:

  • Gameplay Mechanics
  • Player Interaction
  • Artwork & Theme
  • Component Quality
  • Rulebook Clarity

The BoardGameMeeple Scoreboard was provided by LaserRox and sits proudly on the BoardGameMeeple game table.

Each score is out of 5, each being a Meeple increment. There is clear criteria for what is required to earn a Meeple.
