Greetings muggles
Today's puzzle is titled GAME PIECES by Patrick Berry
The answer to this week's contest is the name of a game. (Settler's of Catan maybe???)
Also as a resource and a lot of work by a couple of muggles, the past WSJ crossword contests and solutions are available on the blog at Come Aboard/FAQs – community/Past WSJ Crossword Contests & Solutions. They provide a tremendous resource for learning and refreshing about the techniques used to solve meta contests.

Fun one! Thought I had it part way through grid but kept going just to be sure.

Ashore. I have a minor nitpick, but overall I enjoyed it.

It’s not often that I get the meta after completing one quarter of the grid..... A Rows Garden by Patrick Berry can take me hours. Some of his variety puzzles are hard! This meta, not so much.
