Amanda Mantchombe
Shapes the brand vision, messaging and strategic partnerships for MeepleMania across Malawi.
From small game nights to big adventures
Founded in 2024 in Lilongwe, MeepleMania Games began with a simple belief: board games have a unique power to connect people, spark joy and build lasting friendships. What started as small, intimate game nights grew into a thriving community across Lilongwe and Blantyre.
As interest grew, so did what we offer. Today we run casual board game nights, competitive strategy tournaments, corporate team-building days and retreats, and premium adventures like The Great Lake Escape in Mangochi.
From introducing newcomers to modern board games to designing custom programmes for companies, our passion stays the same: bringing people together through play.
