The Quiz and … the Crossword

Here’s a special puzzle to sharpen your minds in advance of the legendary MeepleCon quiz – a board game themed cryptic crossword!

Chris from the Melbourne Meeples team has been occasionally setting crosswords for about ten years. In this crossword, about half the clues or answers are board game related.

Complete the crossword and if you look carefully at the grid you will find a hidden message. Come to the quiz, and when you see a picture of a kookaburra, shout out that message – the first one to do so wins a prize!

The puzzle can be completed online, or there is a send to PDF option in the bottom left hand corner.
