Welcome to the Partymeeple web site. This site is run by Noisy Andrew. It is all about some of his favourite board games.

I've liked playing board games all my life. But over the last 15 years the board gaming world has been turned on it's head by the penetration of what are principally German designed games. These games are a good deal more fun that the games I grew up with where you basically rolled a dice, moved a pawn of some sort and then followed an instruction. Though I did not realise at the time, that play mechanic is rarely very much fun.

German games (though probably Eurogame is a better term) tend to play faster than games like Monopoly - Trivial Pursuit style games. They generally give players more choice and interaction with each other too. Not so much waiting an age for your turn to come around. It would not be uncommon for my friends and I to play 2-3 times in an evening and then be finished before 10:30pm.

On this site, you can learn a little about some of the game I think people should try out first. You can also download some of my print and play games. Of course If you don't have the patience to print them out and make them your self, I also sell hand made copies. Direct from Designer to Player.

I also run a Teach you the games service. Reading rules is a bore and happy to come by and show you a few games you may like to try. Depending one how far i have to travel to get there, it's usually free. Hey, If you like the games, I'll make some money selling some too you.
