Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a board game
Well, will you look at that: 200 metas! Goodness, I never thought I would see the day when I could say that. "Financial Downturn" (https://crosshare.org/crosswords/4DxgBqcHR4PwVbG4bkjA/financial-downturn-meta) doesn't feel like such a long time ago. Anyway, I'm not showing any signs of stopping, so here's to many more metas to come! Which brings us to this special, celebratory meta. There isn't much I can say about this one, so just jump in. The answer to the meta is a board game. (Note that this is not a tricky meta: your challenge is to try to solve the meta before you get to the bottom row!)

Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
