The Friday 2 player games evening has been cancelled due to lack of interest and one or two others that were going having to drop out.
It would have been nice to have seen it going ahead.
It is what it is.
But seeing as I have a bit of time on my hand for a couple more days before I can start testing. I thought why not share the list of games I would have taken with me if I was able to attend this Friday.
I have about 30 games in my collection that I have tagged as 2 player only. Which includes one or two like Santorini or Star Wars Rebellion that technically can play more players. But playing more than two is a kludge. They are really 2 player games, and play best at that count.
A couple of the above have new expansions (can the Targi expansion be called new considering I’ve had it for a year or so now?) I want try with them.
The others are just favourites that have been away from the table for way too long. Although I do play Lost Cities a lot using the rather excellent app against friends.
Oh and sorry for the click bait post title. I know I’m better than that.
I was hoping to play Martin’s copy of Lord of the Rings: The Confrontation; I used to own this game myself but sold it on (which I actually regret doing). I was also going to introduce him to one of my favourite 2-player games, Mr. Jack (there is also 2 sequels, which I also own, Mr. Jack in New York and The Phantom of the Opera). Was planning on bringing the classic Hive, and Volcano (which is a game playable with the Looney Pyramid system and is my favourite game using them). I had thought about bringing along Carrooka, but this would probably need a session of its own.
Volcano is a fav of mine too.
I was thinking that bringing along games to a 2-player session that can play more that 2 is cheating. If we run a 2-player games session, it should be limited to games primarily designed for 2-players (adding Santorini as a backup if we did get an odd number of players would be allowed as a solution to the odd number problem and would be exempt from this designation).
