Imaginarium: an engine builder at heart. The theme is light at best. But the production was good, the player pieces large plastic busts of your character.

Ashes: I introduced Gavin to the game. I selected two of the thirty available phoenixborn decks, Dimona Odinstar (me) vs Lulu Firststone (Gavin). I couldn’t find a suggested first five so we had to blindly guess. Gavin eventually won a back and forth between our battlefields. I was getting through my deck faster than Gavin as I dived for cards. Gavin isn’t a big fan of this type of game but he did say he’d play again. So a kind of win.

Forest Shuffle Dartmoor: I think I won my first game of this after falling into a bats and dragonfly strategy.

Age of Galaxy: I think describing this game as 4x game might be over selling it. There is barely any conflict. Ok none. However it is a very enjoyable game. I like that you start with seven faction cards, and that’s it for the whole game. You then have the hard choice of how you’re going to use them during the five rounds.

Mistborn: finally got this deckbuilder to the table. I liked it. I liked how as the rounds progress the more you can do on a turn. The target mechanic in the three player game worked well. Ben tried to eliminate me first. However my purchases were wise, giving me health or movement on the mission tracks. So while thwarting Bens plan with healing of my character I advanced on the mission tracks, completing all three to win the game.

Rebel Princess: fun, ‘nuff said.

Formidable Farm: a collect resources to complete contracts race game. Complete your pile of contracts before the others to win. Light, a bit of luck (a lot actually) but still enjoyable game.

War: I introduced Gavin to this literary unknown game. I wish it had a wider audience to appreciate how great this game is.
