Greetings

In a week where we celebrated the 68th anniversary of Wham-O Manufacturing Co. producing their first Frisbee, where 66 million-year-old fish vomit was discovered in Denmark, where the California Technical Institue announced a new form of matter (polycatenated architectured materials) that when compressed, act like a solid, but when they are subjected to lateral force, they behave a liquid or a grain, where 200 UK companies have signed on for a four-day workweek, where dogs in the UK, who have previously been trained to sniff out Parkinson's disease and COVID, have now been trained to detect bowel cancer, and where a study has found that age-related declines experienced by older adults have significantly slowed down, we're still talking board games here at Meeple Mountain.

Come Write For Us!

Have you ever read our reviews or articles and thought, "That looks like fun, I'd love to be a part of it."? You might not know this but we're always looking for new contributors! If you have an interesting or unique take about board games we want to hear about it: be it written or in video form! Remember that board gaming is a hobby for everyone, regardless of ability level, race, body type, gender, or sexual orientation, and our goal is for our authors to represent that diversity.
