Meeple War review

I've always been a fan of games with a light, strategic feel, and Meeple War really hits the spot. The idea of using the iconic meeples as battle units is initially a little goofy, but it actually works surprisingly well.

The game itself is deceptively simple, with easy-to-learn rules that don't bog down the experience. However, there's a surprising amount of depth to the gameplay. The various buildings you can construct offer a wide range of strategic choices, and the combat, while simple, adds a satisfying layer of tension.

I was initially a little skeptical about the one-to-one damage system, but it actually makes the game move along at a brisk pace without getting bogged down in complex combat rules.

Meeple War is a game that's perfect for a quick, fun session with friends. It's easy to pick up, but offers enough strategic depth to keep things interesting for multiple plays. Highly recommend it!
