Title: What do you call the "big meeple?"
Post by: albie on April 06, 2007, 03:30:20 pm
I was just curious as to how everyone refers to the big meeple. I have seen some colorful names in other posts, but would like to compile a list, just out of curiosity.

In our gaming group, apparently, we aren't too inventive. We just call 'em "the big guy" as opposed to "little guys" for the normal meeples. And yes, we are all guys in our group, so we can get away with the "sexist" label!   :P

Anyone else care to share their nicknames? By the way, is there an "official" title for the big meeple?

I like Ubermeeple - might start using that.

We normally just use "big meeple"

Only just got round to looking at some of the older posts...

We just call him Big Meeple... However, the Pig has become 'Piggle' and the Builder has become 'Biggle' or 'Bob' - (If you are in the UK that may make sense, if you're not then....... )

A friend started refering to the Meeples as 'meatballs'.... so when we play the castle they've now been named 'Nuggets' (chicken ones!!).

So far we've avoided any daft names for the Fairy and the Dragon ---- although I can see 'Dribble' coming along.....  ;D ;D ;D

Cimbri would be appropriate, no?

One of my brothers started calling him the "mongo guy", and the name seems to have stuck.
