Board Game Arena

I just played today a normal game of toy battle and to my surprise i just discover a new toy implemented to game! The new toy is called meeple wearing the number 8, with an ability that let your opponent draw a toy. I searched in the options to see if this was an option or extension but nothing. I also searvhed on the internet to see whether this is an official new toy or extension but again nothing. In my last attempt to understand where is this comming from, i searvhed any news from bga, but again nothing. Can anyone explain is this a permanent thing? Official? Can we disable it? Thanks in advance!

also very surprised to see it, no clue

This is a promotional item created for the Essen festival. The publisher is, of course, looking forward to your feedback.

The publisher, Repos Production, announced it on their socials. It's an official unit.

It is currently being distributed at Spiel. No info yet on what conditions apply to obtain it or where else it will be made available.



The new rules have been announced: troop of power 8, when played the opponent gets to add a troop to their rack

their should be optional on bga. It's very strong !

Playing with the new Meeple troop is now an option that you can disable when creating your games.

.. and Meeple is disabled for the current Arena season.

Thank you again, Math, just a small correction:

- "Play without Meeple" option disabled is a double negation => this wording misleads a bit and would mean "Meeple is active"
- For completeness, we would probably want "Play without Meeple" showing "enabled" in Arena, or change the wording in another way

I didn't want to bloat the other thread so I post this here, hope this helps.

Where can we find the rules for Meeple?
