Weekly Penguin

Weekly Penguin 925

And we're not done with MWG Boardgames' Plucky Penguins just yet. One of the Kickstarter edition's differences is that it didn't not only come with the meeples, but also with the figurine versions of all of them – and the antagonist walrus, naturally.

The figurines are superbly detailed, capturing the look of both the meeples and the character card art by Chiara "Riiko" Vian. The meeples were showcased with the game itself, in case you're looking for a comparison.

You might be looking at this going, 'but why haven't you painted these?'. The truth is, because I don't trust myself not to F it up. Give me a pen, a pencil, some charcoal, mouse or a stylus, I'm game. A tiny figurine paintbrush? Yeah, perhaps when I get a real-world undo button.

Today's Weekly Penguin is atypically already on a Monday due to a scheduled demonic invasion. Next week we're back in the regular Tuesday schedule.
