We hold this truth to be self-evident: Not all games are created equal!

Power to the Meeple was created Jeffrey Norman Borbeau and co-host John-Michael Gariepy, both former founders of the MGP: Session Impressions podcast. We’re advocates for the little meeple. Each episode is a strike at the heart of bourgeoisie gaming, and a vote for the proletariat. Down with Big Brother! Up with the Meeple!

Our episodes are filled with game reviews, news, discussion and interviews from within the nerd-verse.

Since the revolution will not be televised, we need your help. Don’t forget to like and share liberally with your fellow citizens. Be vigilant, and stay tuned to our channel, website, and BGG Guild for further podcasts. Be good to one another. That is all.

Joe:
Known simply as Joe, he joins the Meeple with having several years behind the scenes of the video game industry.

Or card games, miniatures games, hell, any game he will put fourth a try and give you an honest answer telling what he thinks.

Mike:
Mike is the latest to join the cast of Power to the Meeple. Mike has been gaming both digitally and in analog forms for many years. He brings a vast knowledge of technological wizardry to the cast, and plans to spruce up the website. He is also one hell of a cook.

Ricky Bernadi:
Ricky Bernardi is the youngest member of the Meeple crew and while he has much less experience in the industry, he has a burning desire to learn and play all sorts of games. He plays video games, board games, card games, miniatures games, role-playing games, games with mallets, games with kites, games with bean bags and games about other games. He also has a sexy pirate picture that you can save as a desktop picture or whatever. He wouldn’t mind. He swears.

Ricky has taken a brief hiatus from Power to the Meeple to go attend college like a smarty pants. What a nerd.
