I am Count Dracula from “The Fury of Dracula”. Welcome to my domain, the dark world of boardgames. Pick your preferred route to a slow excruciating death from my games cupboard. I shall slowly suck the life out of you. Bwahahaha…
Our 3 kids are at the stage where they are starting to look at a much wider range of boad games. They would love any chance to try a few new ones.
If I were a game piece, I would be a vegetable from Agricola. Not one of the fancy pumpkin shaped ones, just the standard orange disc that comes with the game.
Zigzagging all over the board in my pretty pink dress I would battle it out in a classic game of Super Mario chess. Watch out Koopers here comes Princess Peach!!! with Mario at my side nothing is out of reach. This way and that darting over the board, being ladylike at the same time as defeating the foe! and all too quickly the game comes to an end, Bowser is checkmate – bye bye my friend!
I would definately be a War sun piece from Twil Imp3rd e. Aside from being a very strong game piece (can’t break it!), they can literally hurt people (when the war sun gets stepped on), and if I was a War sun I would be the most powerful piece in the game.
A dignified ‘Master Builder’ is what I would be;
Painted in blue and thrown in a cloth bag,
Awaiting the moment to out-strategise the enemy,
Choose ‘Privilege’ to zig- but ‘Craftsmen’ to zag.
Select‘3 Victory Points’ for a quick, useful boost,
Else, protection from the loss of a needed two;
Plus one (+1) resource may be eventfully produced,
Too much stockpiled? The Worker Mill is for lieu.
Where was I born? Simple, Mayfair Games thereof.
Clues: Blocking, taxing, buying, selling and producing,
‘The Pillars of the Earth’ is a piece that I am a part of,
Use me with two more and you will cease from losing!
‘ONLY TWO MASTER BUILDERS NEXT ROUND’
SHEESH, NO MORE CHOOSING!
Her face is yellow. She has big puppy dog eyes, pink lips, and a nose that resembles Pinocchio’s. Her head is nearly bald. I reached in the little purple bag and pulled out my favourite spiky pink mohawk hair to put on her head. She is from Cranium (not the best game, I know, but how good are the meeples?!), and she is funky, fun, and definitely marches to her own fashion drum, just like me.
Each day I may look different on the outside like a meeple, or a cube, or a little train carraige but no matter what I’d always be red; so when somebody comes along they’d know straight away they have to pick a different colour.
I’d be a quality German Meeple, made from the finest Black Forest Oak (who would inevitably, due to economic forces, eventually end up being produced in China out of cheap Pine or Nyarta).
The lone black worker from Pillars of the Earth
The Provost (Caylus). He’s the man really. His movements can make or break your carefully constructed plans. His life consists of a pleasant stroll through the French countryside with his buddy the Bailiff and a few sacks full of deniers from the builders vying for his affeciton. He’ll be your best friend for a turn and your worst enemy the next, which sums up my board gaming style perfectly.
Blue! Blue! Blue! Blue! Blue! Blue! Damn Through the Ages.
No Blue!
If I could be any game piece at all: a valiant space marine, an industrious farmer disc, a great dragon from Descent, or whatever; man, woman, meeple, or bit, I think I would most like to be a road piece from Settlers in Catan. The minimalist lines appeal of course, but what mostly fulfils my wild aspirations is the sense that I’ll be going somewhere.
I would be one of the meeples of Inkognito. As it would be the only opportunity I could travel to Venice, run around in a mask and shake up a nun in the hopes to turn her balls black and blue.
I would be a tall meeple, with broad shoulders and brown colour and two days worth of stubble. Thus meeple would truly be mine, mirroring my natural physique and appearance.
I would definitely be the Carcassonne Dragon!! It’s guaranteed to change the dynamics of any game when in play and on the rampage. Plus it’s always amusing watching players who are forced to eat their own meeples. ^_^
The Carcassone Pig – My goal in life is to multiply the value of everyone else.
I would like to be the King from El Grande! Not only do you tower considerably over everyone else (no more tall guy blocking your view in the movies), but no one moves in or out of the region you occupy. This would be very useful in making sure no one cuts in on you in the coffee line, or ensuring the kids don’t leave the table until dinner is finished. Plus, those in your region often get a bonus (who doesn’t love giving presents).
The Dragon, from Princess and the Dragon. No game is complete without an element of randomness and uncontrollable destruction.
I’d be a Fast Flowing Forest Feller (lumberjack) from Friedemann Friese’s great game. Bravely racing logs down the river in my quest to be fastest and first! Skilfully judging the raging currents, and surfing the foaming white-water at dare-devil speeds! Hanging on for dear life on hair-raising rides down dangerous rapids! Shoving the logs of my competitors out of the way, creating log-jams to block them, and cleverly dodging them myself! Finally, floating into the blissful peace of a gentle pool at the river’s end, to finish the game. Aye, a fast flowing forest feller is what I’d be!
‘Master Builder’ is what I would be; anxiously awaiting inside a cloth bag, for my one moment to out-strategise the enemy, choose Privilege to zig and Craftsmen to zag. Three VP is a quick and useful boost; else, seek protection from the loss of a needed two. Plus one resource may be eventfully produced. Too much stockpiled? The Worker Mill is for lieu. Where was I born? Simple, Mayfair Games thereof. Clues: blocking, taxing, buying and producing. ‘The Pillars of the Earth’ is the game I’m part of. Now that you have tips, PLEASE stop losing!
If I could be any meeple, I would be a chess pawn – white, of course, as black is too gothic – for the following reasons:
1) I usually get the first move of the game unless that pesky knight steals my thunder and leaps in front of me;
2) Despite my small size, I can take out any other piece;
3) I am small and inconspicuous enough to sneak into position prior to wreaking havoc and turning the course of a game;
4) If I am taken out, my clones will probably wreak their revenge on my murderer!
I would be a rubix cube. I am random and appear completely scattered at times. But if you know how to manipulate me you can get the perfect result.
i actually enjoy all your writing style, very unique,
don’t quit and keep posting due to the fact it simply very well worth to follow it,
impatient to read a lot more of your writing, have a good day
I would be made out of bacon. Then I could be a meatple…
