Who Am I?
One single batchelor from the UK talking about his passion for board games and the people who play them! I support small content creators, board game cafes and go against the status quo when it comes to the board game industry. I give my honest opinions without bias towards any publishers or designers and will not hold back if I don't like a game.
The Broken Meeple is a variety channel that hosts all kinds of board game content from reviews to Top 10 lists to playthroughs to live stream collaborations with special guests (predominantly small channels who deserve more exposure).
I look forward to engaging with you, the community on my live streams or in the comments on my videos!

Backed this at Conductor level & it has to be one of my favourite crowd funded game to date. I only play solo & this ticks all the boxes for me. Challenging without excessively brutal brain burn, quick to setup / tear down vs play satisfaction, everything (bar playmat) fits in the box with sleeved cards, looks great on table, theme is enough but not overwhelming (I'm not a steam train fan) & worth the money paid. I got the deluxe edition +sleeves +playmat. Well done Dranda Games, I certainly lookout for their future campaigns

At first I skipped this game for some reason, thought it is a card filler with nothin to it. But seeing your review quickly changed my mind and good for me bacuse I managed to get on a last wagon of a preorder train (we have this game coming with Ukrainian localization in a month or so) Thank you for recommending

I'm really excited to get my copy (I'm in the US), especially have your 9/10 score. Multi-purpose cards are a mechanic I really like, and the decisions about putting a card in an opponent's cars for the extra benefits (and saving other actions) is great. All packaged in such a small box is a huge plus as well.

What!? Luke likes a train game? Lol. I saw this a few and knew nothing about it. Thanks for reviewing this. I like how it plays. I'm putting this on BBG wish list. Now this one and Alice's Garden I'm keeping my open for. Keep up the great work.

Excellent stuff as always Luke. Glad you liked this as it's one myself and my family enjoy. I'm probably in the minority but I like the tokens and their artwork better than the garish large coloured meeples that I don't think add anything to the game.
@TheBrokenMeeple Жыл бұрын
Fair enough! I think there's merit for liking either or.
@lajeit 11 ай бұрын
Do the deluxe tokens fit into the box? Also can you sleeve the cards into that box?

Sleeved yes, deluxe passengers and VP markers yes. Playmat, no.

Luke typically hates trains….and it started off positive…the whole time watching, I thought this review was going to go “off the tracks”. I think this game has all the makings of a great train game…..it is at-track-tive….and has engine-uity. I’m here all week. Don’t forgot to tip your waitress.

Im thinking of buying a small box of card game that is not trick-taking. So I'm thinking of forts until I watch this review. So if you have played forts, can you recommend which one is more fun? Forts or this game. Thanks.
@TheBrokenMeeple Жыл бұрын
Do you mean Fort as in the deck builder? Out of the two I find Fort more fun overall, get the mini expansion as well.
