About This Podcast

Hi, we are Jennie and Chris, your friendly hosts and we'd like to welcome you to the Melbourne Meeples podcast, the Friendly Meeple Lounge! 


What is Melbourne Meeples? We are a Not-For-Profit Organisation who runs board game events all around Victoria. As such, we set our eyes and hands on a lot of different board games, and we want to share what we know with you! We know, there are lots of people out there already talking about board games, but we noticed that not many people are talking about how friendly games are for people who are Neurodiverse or who have disabilities, such as Colour-Blindness. So, we break it down, give you some tips to make the game more friendly, bringing along our significant others, friends and even members, as well as many other special guests, to talk about it. 


To find out more information about Melbourne Meeples and all of our events, you can check us out here: https://meeples.org.au/
