Hide and Seek

One game genre/mechanic I love playing is hidden movement games. But to be fair I don’t play them that often. I actually own only three games that feature hidden movement as the main/feature mechanic.

Out of those three I’ve played two of them. The third sits on my pile of shame.

I’ve played Letters from Whitechapel a couple of times. Plus the two player Mr Jack. Both owned by Jonathan and you might notice they share a common theme.

I’ve played on both sides of the screen. Do I have a preference? No I just love the experience both sides give. Whether it’s the planning, information sharing, deduction of those hunting. Or the adrenaline rush of slipping through the net as the one hiding.

After watching a YouTube video a couple weeks back for Mind Mgmt I was reminded how much fun these style of games are.

Before I knew it I was searching for a deluxe copy of the game, and buying it.

As I was doing that I remembered I had never bought the stand alone expansion/sequel to Spectre Ops that came out.

So while I was in a searching mood I also tracked down a copy of Spectre Ops Broken Covenant. Sadly the copy I found was going to have to come from the US of A.

I’m not sure how I stumbled upon Sniper Elite the board game but that to looked interesting. The Second World War theming was appealing. So I’ve kinda gone all in on this. The core game and expansion were bought together off eBay. The deluxe upgrade kit preordered from the publisher. And the new expansions plus a storage box “preordered” on Gamefound.

So in a matter of two weeks I’ve doubled (once they all arrive) the number of hidden movement games I own.

The full list will be as follows:
Fury Of Dracula;
Mind MGMT: The Psychic Espionage “Game.”; (new)
Nuns on the Run;
Sniper Elite: The Board Game; (new)
Specter Ops;
Specter Ops: Broken Covenant. (new)

Now I just need to get these games to the table.
