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!

Welcome!

Welcome to our new family project! We’ve always loved a variety of games, and often get asked for recommendations from friends and colleagues. When 2020 brought us COVID-19 and social distance mandates, we found ourselves keeping ourselves entertained with some of our old favorites. That, coupled with the need to keep our kids entertained during remote learning, led to the creation of this website. If you want to get to know us a little more, check out our “About Us” page. We hope you enjoy reading – we’ve enjoyed creating the content!
