The "Travel HumBug" Meeple

Meet the Travel HumBug Meeple!

Like it it's meeple brothers and sisters, this meeple trackable is keen to explore the world, but it doesn't have a specific goal.    My hope is that  it will travel cahce to cahce, cover many miles, and maybe play a few games a long the way!

What are meeples?

Meeples are used in modern board games as player pieces.  Usually each player has a different colour.  Probably the most famous example is the game "Carcassonne" where each player deploys their meeples on the board to score points from different structures that they build throughout the game.  Have a look on wikipedia if you are interested - Carcassonne is a great game, loved by families and focused gamers alike!

My husband and I love geocahcing and we love modern board games.  Since geocachng is technically a game, we are using meeples to represent our trackables.

The Travel HumBug is part of the Meeple People Family, look out for the other meeple trackables:

Mr (TB8X45R) and Mrs (TB8X45V) Meeple as they race each other around the world to get home first.

The Meta-game Meeples (TB8X45W) that are traveling to important board game related destinations. First up “Carcassonne”

The Lost & Found Meeple (TB8X483), who is travelling to San Diego in time to meet his owner there in January 2019.

The Lost Lorry Meeple (TB8YMBN), who is recreating an accidental journey between the English counties of Hertfordshire and Herefordshire.

Please note: no actual Carcassonne meeples were harmed in the construction of these trackables....that would have left us with an incomplete set....
