Media: Meeple People
Meeple People is a comedy web series about a group of eclectic geeks in their 30s who come together for a weekly game night in a suburb of Ohio. While they have little in common professionally or personally, these social misfits find a true kinship through their love of strategy board games. It’s about shamelessly indulging in the joys of childhood, while learning how to embrace your inner grownup. And it’s about friendship, because when you find your people, you find yourself.
