Board games fit into the Hygge ethos as they are a social activity which allows you to create common memories and strengthen relationship bonds and in addition, for many of us who grew up playing board games, there is that sense of nostalgia of more simpler times. It is also a great opportunity to put down our phones, switch off from technology and be in the moment! 

So gather some friends, dim the lights, light a fire, play some mellow music, pour the hot chocolate...or whisky, grab a snuggly blanket and settle down for a Hygge evening with our top suggestions for Hygge friendly board games.

Nothing beats going for a nice long walk in the countryside and then getting back for tabletop gaming during your Staycation but being tired after a day of walking can influence what game selection we take on our trips. For a trip away for just the 2 of us there are 5 games we will be taking on our next trip. If you want to find out what the 5 games are and the reasons why we are going to take them then read on.

Meeple Design is a company centered around creativity and working through the pandemic can be difficult. Our favourite hobby can be an excellent source of stress relieve helping maintain your general health in a number of different ways and fortunately for us we play board games at least once a week. To highlight various ways that board games can help improve our creativity and health, Eva Benoit has provided the below top tips with some useful links so carry on reading to get started. 

As the Meeple Design website has been live for some time now we thought it was about time we added the obligatory 'favourite board games' post. It should give an idea about our thought process behind buying new board games and hopefully a bit of insight into why we started Meeple Design. This will be for my top 5 games and Hannah will write her own list for her top 5 games. I am sure the list will be different and even if there are crossovers I think the reason we like the games will vary as well.

Next on my list is Great Western Trail....
