Does Wingspan Hold Up After Fifty Plays

Jonas and Katrin have played Wingspan more than any other game they own. They argue about whether it is still worth the table time or whether habit is keeping it there.

About the show

Meeple After Midnight is a fortnightly two-host show about modern board games, recorded in Hamburg by Jonas Weidemann and his regular gaming partner Katrin Albers after their weekly game night ends. Each 45 minute episode covers one game they have played at least five times, with honest talk about rules that are badly explained, play times that lie on the box, and whether it works with two players or only shines with four. There is a recurring segment on games for people with 40 minutes and a tired partner, and another on teaching a game to someone who says they hate board games. Jonas and Katrin disagree often and keep score. The show is for adults who came to the hobby through a friend's living room rather than a convention, and who want recommendations from people who have actually finished the game. No unboxings, no hype, no Kickstarter countdowns.
