About Our Rating System

To understand our rating system, first you’ll need to learn about meeples. A meeple is a small figure used as a playing piece in certain board games, having a stylized human form.

Now, you’re probably wondering how we have incorporated meeples into our rating system. Here’s what you need to know…

1 Meeple: No way! – I wouldn’t play this again!

2 Meeples: No Thanks – This game doesn’t appeal to me.

3 Meeples: It’s alright – I could take it or leave it.

4 Meeples: Good – I like it, and would recommend to friends!

5 Meeples: Great – This is really fun, and one of my go-to games

6 Meeples: Amazing! – One of my favorites, and I want to play it all the time!

We know that different members of your family will likely have different opinions of the same game. That’s why, on our blog, you’ll get four perspectives.

Each game will contain four ratings:

Mom and Dad – Both in their forties and not shy to tell if you they don’t like a game.

Sister – A ten year old girl getting ready to start 5th grade.

Brother – A seven year old boy getting ready to start 2nd grade.

That’s enough info to get you started…let’s start reviewing some games!
