Purple Dogs & BETRAYAL! We review Betrayal at House on the Hill.

Purple Dogs & BETRAYAL! We review Betrayal at House on the Hill.

Author: Michael & Suzanne Teske January 16, 2023 Duration: 31:30

Welcome to Meeples & Wine where BETRAYAL hangs in the air with…purple dogs and French wine? Did we mention the BETRAYAL?! This week we have our first guest couple, Tim & Erin, to play Betrayal at House on the Hill, where Tim discovers a witty name is no defense against a shovel, and a spear, and a mystical elevator. We also taste a bottle of Laurent Dublanc Cotes-du-Rhone, a nice dry red for those cold January nights.

Betrayal at House on the Hill 2nd edition is the game this week, one wrought with hidden doors, traps and omens at every turn, and just when you least expect it you discover the traitor among you! This tile laying game builds a haunted house that up to six people can explore, discovering new rooms, finding items that may help or hinder you, and as more omens arise the haunt begins!

Betrayal at House on the Hill!

Tim & Erin are long time friends of Michael & Suzy and also part of Purple Dog Records in Naperville Illinois! If you’re looking for newly released vinyl, a specific album or have some you’d like to sell, that’s the place to go! They’re at 231 S Washington St Suite 105, Naperville, IL 60540.

Every week, Michael and Suzanne Teske turn their dining table into a testing ground for connection and cardboard. Meeples And Wine-Tabletop Games for Couples is their ongoing experiment in pairing a great game with a great drink, all while navigating the unique dynamics of playing as a pair. You’ll hear their real-time reactions as they learn new rules, their strategic banter during play, and their honest post-game debriefs about what worked, what caused hilarious friction, and what truly brought them together. It’s less a formal review and more a live-play session with friends, where the conversation flows as freely as the wine, beer, or spirit they’re sampling that episode. They focus on games that are ideal for two players or work well in a couple’s setting, always with an eye toward shared enjoyment over cutthroat competition. The result is a warm, relatable podcast that feels like an invitation to their table, offering genuine recommendations for your next game night and a companionable audio experience that celebrates leisure, strategy, and partnership. You get a sense of the game’s mechanics, the drink’s profile, and the unscripted laughter that happens when two people prioritize fun. It’s about finding those perfect combinations that make an evening memorable, ensuring the only thing left on the couch at the end of the night is the game box.
