Board Games & Board Gamey Things

Welcome to Foster the Meeple

We are Jamie & Jeff, two boardgame lovers whose mission is to spread the joy of this hobby to as many people as we can. We believe in the mental & social benefits boardgames can provide, & want to help our, and your community find what boardgames they love.

Crowdfunding Campaign

We are running our first ever kickstarter campaign to help raise funds for the channel! We want to be very transparent in the purpose behind this, and that is to help offset some costs as we continue to build out our content offerings. We are building a new studio (which we are funding ourselves) & the KS is being utilized to help offset some of those expenditures, as well as being put towards equipment and other needs as we scale. We want to be clear, this is not a requirement, this is a "support is if you wish to / have the means to". If this does not fund, nothing will change. We know some folks have been asking for other ways to help us out, outside of monthly Patreon subscriptions etc. so here we go! We love you all regardless of support or not - we wouldn't be here without you all. Thank you - Jamie & Jeff

Who are these clowns?

Jamie "Big Rig" Haughn - The Brains

Oh hey there, it’s me, Jamie! I’m a lover of board games and board gamey things. My love for games runs so deep that I've dedicated most of my life to them. Through Foster the Meeple, my role as Marketing Director for Van Ryder Games, and as a contributor on BoardGameGeek with my Solo Mode series, I’m all about sharing this hobby with anyone who’ll listen. I have a passion for supporting the gaming community as it grows and flourishes. When I'm not playing games, you can find me spending time with my pets, diving into a good book, catching a movie, or heading to Disney World every chance I get!

Jeff "Digby Dandy" Beal - The Talent

My names Jefffff (If you know you know). When not fighting crime, I work as a Community Experience Developer for Dice Throne! Boardgames have become a huge passion of mine, but more importantly - how we can use boardgames to help with mental health issues people are currently facing. What I love most about the hobby is the community, and helping foster a safe haven for people to be themselves, and collectively enjoy the hobby that has changed the entire trajectory of my life. Outside of boardgames I love Video Games, Miniature Painting, Space Stuff (gosh I LOVE space) & watching movies!
