First game with my new viking meeples
« on: September 14, 2013, 11:07:58 AM »
Me with vikings, my sons with zombies and soldiers.
We just played a short game with base tiles, and four fan-made
expansions, The Guilds, Fighters & Scholars, Fairy Tales
and then the By Order of the King cards.
I won.

I really like the Viking meeples. I see you are playing with some fan made expansions and was wondering what your favorite is. I want to make some but then can't decide where to start at.

There isn't that many fan-made expansions that I think is worth printing tiles for.
Many have the problem that the tiles doesn't look that great,
for instance Fruit Trader where you see in the example (in the rules) that the tiles are way too bright.
Then quite a few are way too complicated (like Father Time),
and a few are too large (like Forests, Oceans and Marshes).

My favorites are a couple without tiles,
but with tiles I think it is:
Treasure Hunt
Family Feud
Lord of the Manor
Wanderer & Mayor's office
and my own
Pope of Avignon
Phantom of the Opera

I love the look of the Viking meeples...I think I'm gonna have to get a set  ;)

I think I'll then have to buy 5 different other sets... I've got my eye on the Troopers, Ninja, Robot, Vampire and Werewolf

I know the link is to Mega Meeples but I'm sure it should be possible to get them in the standard size  :)

@Nebus - you can only get the character meeples in MegaMeeple size as they're simply too detailed to be scaled down for normal meeples. Also, I'd hold on for a couple of months before you choose your meeples as MeepleSource have just finished a very successful KickStarter campaign (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1303699463/character-meeples) and will have somewhere in the region of 150 new characters available from around August...
