  • Luke is a hoot!

    Luke is a real charactor and he brings that to everything he does. His style is stream of thought so you really get what he thinks. I really appreciate that, and importantly when he's critical - he's never mean spirited. He's a joy to listen to and has great insights and perspective on games that has helped me a lot as I got into the hobby.

  • Smart, opinionated and unapologetic.

    The Broken Meeple is one of my favorite board game media creators. Luke has strong opinions which I greatly appreciate, he let’s you know what he think. And while I don’t always agree, I admire his insights and knowledge about games. I love his YouTube channel as well. If you want true and honest insight, this is the place.
