Oh, and...what does "tactical meeples" mean anyway? Well, it has to do with how board games are typically categorized. They are usually classified into groups fondly known as Eurogames and Ameritrash. Eurogames are more abstract, involve strategy, and are usually themed around economic or political ideas. Ameritrash games, on the other hand, tend to be more about combat and wars, and include a whole plethora of wonderful wargames. Eurogames often times use highly stylized wooden pieces to represent people which are known as "meeples".

While some people adamantly favor Eurogames over Ameritrash (or vice versa), I choose not to discriminate. I love both with equal passion, and to symbolize that I chose the name "Tactical Meeples". So there you have it. That, and the domain name was still available.
