Build the most famous amusement park of all time. In Meeple Land you buy the nicest attractions, offer the best services and fit as many meeples as possible onto buses and into your advertising. Meet what the meeples expect and success follows. Neglect any of them and the unhappy ones tarnish your reputation. You compete in an auction for turn order each round, with the option to pass, then place tiles on your own square grid and connect your park with paths. It is a tidy economic puzzle with a friendly theme, for two to four players, roughly forty-five minutes, aimed from about eight years upward.

Who it's for

You like building a neat little park on your own board, something like a theme-park cousin of a tile-laying puzzle.

Not for you if…

You want heavy confrontation or a big strategic arc. This is a pleasant, compact puzzle.

Vibe's take

Tidy, bright and a bit tense. You bid, buy, place and fix your layout, always aware that one neglected meeple will cost you.
