A Fistful of Meeples
A Fistful of Meeples from Final Frontier games is a worker placement game with the feel of an ancient mancala and beautiful wild west artwork by The Mico.
The two key resources in the game are gold and Steel, which allow you to build and upgrade buildings. These wooden blocks are picked randomly from a bag as a result of placing the meeples in front of the buildings on main street.
On a turn, players take all the meeples from one of buildings that make up the two rows of buildings on mainstreet. Meeples are then placed, one at a time, in front of buildings moving one way or the other starting with a neighbouring building.
Brown, builder meeples allow you to build your sign showing that you own one of the buildings. The required resource cost for each building is depicted on the board. Red bandit meeples will steal two resources from the yellow miners, who themselves can mine two resources if placed in front of any building you own. The blue deputies can arrest any bandits in the building and are rewarded with two resources.
If players place a meeple at either end of mainstreet they are setting up for a dice duel. The winner gains 1-4 resources depending on the meeple they defeated.
Players have to swap gold for gold bars when they reach specific numbers of gold resource. At the end of the game, gold bars and buildings score big and any unspent gold bricks provide extra points.
Players can provide scoring and upgrade opportunities, with both miners and builders for others on their turn, so planning moves carefully is important.
Fistful of meeples has a small play area and is a clever, light strategy game with a combination of scoring options. To be successful, players need to make good choices to maximise the opportunities the meeples they pick provide.
A great filler game that looks and plays beautifully. Such a neat little game.
