Terror in Meeple City
Meeples are usually the good guys, the work, they are knights or monks, are placed here, move over there, but they are always determining events and now suddenly they are the victims! In Meeple City huge hungry monsters are hunting meeples. The town with several multi-level buildings is set up and the monsters, comprising paws and body, are released. A monster has two actions in a turn and can do the same action twice: Move - you snip monster paws only; Demolish - if monster paws touch a pavement around a building, you drop the monster body on it. Throw a vehicle - in boroughs with a vehicle you place this vehicle on the monster body and then throw it by snipping it away with your fingers. Breathing - you place your chin on the monster body, inhale and blow! When another monster topples, you take away one of his teeth and place it into your monster’s stomach, that is, the zone behind your screen. When a floor is empty after an action, the active monster gobbles up this floor, even more than one in a turn, if possible. Meeples can flee and are placed on a Runaway board. When a row in the track is full at the board, the active monster takes damage. After the actions the monster gobbles up as many meeples in the borough as it has teeth. At the end each monster scores for meeples it ate and for correlation with its monster card.
And if that is not enough for you, you can play variants featuring made-to-measure monsters or gobbling up of meeple sets.
Purest satire, destructive in the literal sense, and therefore nothing for strategists or thinkers, a bit childish, but a lot of fun once in a while.
