Munchkin Meeples

Forgive me for how bratty this sounds...

These new cute meeples are $20?! That's $1.50 per meeple!
Am I missing something?

Your math is off: $20 divided by 30 meeples is a little more than 66 cents per meeple. These meeples are cut in custom shapes and have custom printing; they're going to be more expensive than generic meeples produced in bulk.

20/30 ≠ 30/20.... good. to. know.

:p

I suppose I freaked out when I started figuring how may I'd need to buy to have munchkin monsters invade Keyflower.

What are meeples used for? Saw these on W23 but don't really get it.

I didn't know either when I first saw, but Meeples are little wooden figures used in some table top games like Carcassonne.
Currently they have no use in Munchkin games, but instead these little guys would be used to inject a little munchkin style into other games...

This is definitely not true. There is a rule for using the Munchkin Meeples in your Munchkin game.

I had to get an extra set as My wife is planning on Meeple earrings :)

What rule would that be, as it isn't written on the Meeples page (or though it does mention in-game bonuses.)

It's in the package.

I have Meeples. Since the rules are being kept close to the vest, all I will say* is that they are interesting and can be used in nine different ways.

*I won't say any more if you PM me, either.
