An opportunity to meet up with my friend Nathan and play a game or two with him was too good to turn down. Especially considering I had a couple of new arrivals I was eager to get to the table.

Jonathan had been invited as well. But considering the day he was a bit snowed under with chores to get ready for the big day. So it was a rather pleasant surprise when he turned up with his daughter and his copy of Bohemian Villages.

We started off playing and learning Las Vegas. Which despite being an “old” game, was new to me and my collection.

Our second game was my other new arrival Skull. Which was also a new to me game.

Both games had been bought as games that could be played at a club night. Games that would support 5 or 6 players, quick and easy to teach, and also roughly about 30 minutes to play. They ticked all the boxes.

We all had fun playing them. With Las Vegas edging it as the favourite of the two. But I’ll write more about these two games after more plays.

Our finally game of the afternoon was last played at the UKGE a couple years back. Jonathan’s daughter still hasn’t managed to defeat me at the game. I was a very gracious and humble winner, and celebrated my victory the only way one could in such a grudge match with a celebratory “in your face little girl”. Yes I was that mature.

A great afternoon of gaming with some great friends. What more couple you ask for?

Games played: Las Vegas, Skull, Bohemian Villages
