Two Catan Qualifiers this week; first was SS15 MEEPLES (read sessrep) and the second was at Taman Tun Dr Ismail’s fun centre FND Mindspot. Check out who’s the finalist from TTDI.
The Catan Tour continues from Bangsar & Cheras to SS15 this time as we head to the popular MEEPLES Boardgamecafe as they host the 3rd Qualifier.

Friendly and effective seller, highly recommended !
Excellent approach towards introducing the bigger world of board games to newcomers. Proprietors are very friendly and down-to-earth, and the board gaming crowd are usually friendly and helpful as well. Competitive prices and wide range of availability makes this an easy choice as a place to shop.
EPIC.
