🎙️Let's Talk Components & Upgrades that matter to me, starting with Screen-Printed Meeples. I love miniatures as a board gamer and painter; however, Screen-Printed Meeples are my favorite component as I don't always believe miniatures to be necessary or important. When those meeples have unique artwork printed on them it elevates the table presence for me. I don't mean to call out Lost Ruins of Arnak as I do really enjoy that game, but they could use some enhanced meeples to improve the aesthetics. Same goes for Everdell, for such a wildly popular game, those blank meeples just stare at me while I play 😆

🧩 Look, I get it, blank meeples don't change the gameplay so it doesn't affect my rating of a game; but I do thoroughly enjoy the extra effort to make them look cool

🐉Perhaps the best meeples I've ever seen are the ones from Wondrous Creatures made by Bad Comet games. Not only do they have incredibly unique and detailed artwork but the meeples allow your character to have a mount using a cool magnetic feature built in. Bad Comet in fact has two other games in my post, Life of the Amazonia & Wild: Serengeti. Imagine playing those games with blank meeples... It just wouldn't look the same

🧭 One of the games I posted in the photos is Maps of Misterra. This is a relatively simple game at a lower than usual cost and they still featured some great looking meeples. If you're going to make a game using wooden pawns/meeples, let's put some artwork on it please!

❓What games have your favorite Screen-Printed Meeples? And which games do you think could use an upgrade?
