Bringing warmth, stories, and connection to every board-game night.

MeepleNest was born from a love of cozy evenings, shared laughter, and the quiet joy of opening a board-game box. It’s a space dedicated to players who don’t just enjoy gaming but also appreciate the small rituals around it, a hot cup of tea, soft music in the background, and the scent of rain outside.

My name is Μαριαννα, and ever since I was a kid, I’ve been that person who brought games to every gathering. Whether it was family dinners or nights with friends, I was always the one unpacking Stratego, Clue, Risk, or Monopoly. Those early days were simple, but they planted the seed.

The real turning point came years later, with one game: Takenoko. I still remember the excitement of learning it, playing it once, and then calling different friends every day to play again. That’s when I realized board games weren’t just entertainment, they were experiences. Since then, I’ve been exploring the world of tabletop gaming, growing my collection, discovering hidden gems, and falling deeper in love with the creativity and storytelling behind each title.

Through MeepleNest, I wanted to create a corner of the internet where that same joy could live on — a calm, inspiring place to discover your next favorite game, read thoughtful guides, or simply enjoy the cozy aesthetic of board-gaming life.

Here you’ll find carefully curated playlists for every mood and occasion, practical guides & tips to make your sessions smoother, and beautifully themed moodboards that blend games with atmosphere, from rainy afternoons and autumn nights to magical gatherings. Every piece of content is crafted to help you experience board games not just as a pastime, but as a form of art and comfort.

MeepleNest is more than a blog; it’s a community built around connection, imagination, and the joy of slowing down. Whether you play solo, with friends, or with family, you’re part of something that celebrates the beauty of being present at the table.
