I’m writing this round up a couple of days earlier than normal because there will be no gaming before the end of the month. But posting on the last day of the month. Which is also known as my birthday!
Biblios Dice: I think this is the first time I’ve played this game since buying it years ago when it came out. It’s out of print. So was miffed a brown cube was missing. But it’s not going to be hard to replace that. Still this was a fun game to play. Love the drafting of dice, and the auction.
Skull: Colin had expressed a desire to try this game. Luckily I was able to find my copy of this bluffing game. We had fun, Colin liked it.
Pixies: Safe to say this is or is it has become a favourite.
Vegetable Stock: Love this drafting, market manipulation game. Just a great, quick, light game.
Twilight Imperium 4: In the end this was a rushed game cut short by clashing with an evening event going on. But still an epic four player game. The 3D printed insert made a massive difference in setup and breakdown.
3 Chapters: a fast trick taking game. What separates this one from the crowd is the drafting. Yep you start off drafting your hand to play for the trick taking round. Which is pretty cool because it starts you off with some tough choices. You don’t just draft on value but trying to get combos that will score you points not only during the trick taking round but also the final scoring round. Some cards score only during the trick taking round, others during the final scoring. You are hoping that others drafted cards you need to combo off. However it’s almost a dark draft where you are not 100% sure what’s been drafted because you don’t draft all of the cards, one goes back unseen.
Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring Trick Taking Game: although I like how this game handles two players with the dummy hand. It really does need the minimum of three players. We got to chapter 7. But the game kicked our butt too many times.
Bohnanza: a three player game that was just as good fun as the five player game.
