Every $20 spent on retail purchases during August earns you one entry into the draw.
Shop online at www.meepleopolis.com/shop or browse our curated range at The Crafted Coffee Company , 121 Blenheim Road

We’ve managed to get our hands on 3 Entropy Promo Packs, and we’re giving them away FREE to the first three customers who buy a copy of the game.
Each pack contains all three promotional expansions originally offered alongside the crowdfunding release:
-Satellites Promo – adds satellites to your developing solar systems.
-Home System Promo – additional content for building and developing your corner of the universe.
- Luminescent Lifeform Promo – introduces special luminescent lifeforms to discover and add to your evolving ecosystems.
Entropy is a 1–4 player engine-building Eurogame from Board&Dice where you create solar systems, evolve stars, form planets and asteroids, develop biomes and ultimately seed your worlds with life.
If Entropy has been on your radar, this is a pretty good excuse to launch. Only 3 complete promo packs available, and they’ll automatically go to the first three buyers.

Another fantastic playtest of Aotearoa: Contact and Tiriti today!
With more players joining us this time, we were able to open up the entire New Zealand map, which brought a whole new scale to the game.
One of the highlights was the wonderful mix of ages and backgrounds around the table. It was especially inspiring to hear how many players had taken the time beforehand to look back at the history of the period and came ready to really engage with the setting and the decisions they were being asked to make.
Arc came away with some excellent feedback too. Plenty of useful lessons to take into the next session.
A huge thank you to everyone who gave up their Saturday to play, contribute ideas, challenge the game and help Arc as he continues shaping Aotearoa: Contact and Tiriti ❤️ ... See MoreSee Less
