About Manic Meeples

  • Manic Meeples is a deck-building strategy rogue-like! It takes the basic pieces from chess but adds over SEVENDY MORE unique pieces (which we call meeples) to discover!
  • Don't get it wrong- this is NOT chess and it DOESN'T PLAY like chess, either! Chess is BORING, so we made it better!!!
  • Keep the king alive. If he dies then the RUN ENDS!!! Simultaneously, destroying all of the enemies on the board means you'll win the battle!
  • Traverse through multiple different unique areas, from cute forests to DASTARDLY VOLCANOES!!!
  • Across your run, you'll encounter countless new editions to your collection. Wizards, jesters, ancient Greek gods, assassins, ghosts, banana splits, and more!
  • Each meeple has a completely unique set of skills and abilities, allowing for creative combos, synergies, and play styles from run to run!
  • Just like you and your BRAND NEW meeples, your enemies have increased their game. Every area provides a new pool of baddies, each stronger than the last. Be wary!
  • These enemies were ripped from completely different board games without a choice, so they're kinda cranky. Knock some sense into them!
  • PLUS, you'll encounter BIG BAD BOSSES that are sure to give you a big bad beat down!
