Save the Meeples (ML)

In Save the Meeples, the famous board game meeples are finally living peacefully... until humans discover their hidden world and begin capturing them to force them into board game boxes. Faced with this threat, players must decide whether to fight back or build rockets to escape toward a safer planet.

This highly original worker placement game introduces a clever system where placement and action order are deeply connected. Players send their meeples by train to various locations to gather resources, recruit more meeples, repair wounded allies, battle humans, and help construct rockets. Actions are then resolved in reverse order, rewarding careful planning and anticipation.

The game can end in two completely different ways: either humans invade Meeple-land, or players successfully launch enough rockets into space. Because the final scoring changes depending on how the game ends, players constantly balance military efforts against escape plans throughout the game.

Featuring impressive 3D components, assembled rockets and trains, and a humorous theme centered around rescuing meeples from humans, Save the Meeples delivers a memorable and highly interactive strategic experience. Its variable ending conditions add strong replayability and tension from start to finish.

You will enjoy Save the Meeples if you love strategy board games with worker placement, changing objectives, strong player interaction, and a playful theme.

The game was designed by Florian Sirieix and illustrated by Anne Heidsieck, whose colorful artwork gives life to this imaginative world where meeples finally become the heroes of their own story.
