meeple

I learned a new word today: meeple!  It's a character piece you use to represent yourself in a board game.  

My friend Stephanie learned about meeples at the Thirsty Meeples Board Game Cafe in Oxford (yes, that Oxford), where she recently spent some time.  Is there a board game cafe here?  Can I invent one?  (Please come to my house and play board games.  I have coffee.)     

According to the internet, serious geeks insist that a true meeple must look like people.  I say serious geeks need to go play a board game at a pub and be the racecar for a change.  

Thirsty Meeples has a delightful slideshow of their Top 10 Meeples.  Enjoy that.  

Did you know the word meeple?  What's in your meeple Top 10?  My nephews and I have used Lego minifigs and a 20-sided die as meeples. Those are my faves.
