What's your favourite card, meeple, or piece of any board games you've played? (jlai.lu)

Some personal examples:

Dice forge has its way of handling dices that felt incredibly smart the first time I played it

Same for Codex Naturalis, I was impressed by the simple way they printed the cards to allow for modularity, obviously the game is a lot simpler than I thought but it gave me some interesting ideas with how to overlap cards

Or the boards in Fort that have this double layer so that you can nest your pizzas and toys in there, so cozy!

I really like big wooden meeples and the sound they make when you place them on the board. The meeples in Lost Ruins of Arnak are nice and chunky. But I also love the cowboy meeples in Great Western Trail 2nd edition. They are not that big, but the little cowboy hats are just 👌🏼.

Btw, what's the plural of 'meeple'?
