Friday evening was another really well attended club night.

It saw the return of a missed member, new members attending for the first time, and regular faces.

If the head count was accurate then there were seventeen like minded individuals gathered round tables, rolling dice, playing cards, and exploiting any misplay made by others.

Surely it won’t be long before we break into twenty plus members attending a club night.

You already know that Gavin and I have entered into a deal that sees me exchange hard earned mullah for his copy of Marvel Champions.

My first game of the evening was the latest Stonemaier Games release, the tenth anniversary co-op micro game for two players, Smitten, with Jonathan.

The art on one of the Smitten cards reminded me of a card in MtG. A quick search found the card I’d been thinking of, it was Arcane Flight. Take a look at the two cards side by side below, what do you think?

Am I the only one that sees a similarity?

The game does play really fast. And very quick to learn.

I love the limited communication you are allowed.

I was definitely getting some The Mind vibes whilst playing Smitten.

For me this is another great example of what can be achieved with just eighteen cards, like Love Letter.

Smitten might have just become my go to two player filler game.

Jonathan and I failed. But we enjoyed ourselves.

My second, but the others I was playing with first game of the evening, was Wingspan.

I used the official app for the final scoring instead of the supplied score pad. Probably the first time in actual anger.

It worked well, very little overhead in using, with the only setup being selecting which expansions if any you are using, and player names.

I really like that quick setup and straight into using.

It didn’t change the final result with me coming in last.

My final game of the evening was a couple of games of Sushi Go! Party.

Because we were all experienced gamers we went with “gamie” oriented menus.

These were fun.

I love how the different menus just shake things up depending on what sort of game you want, or who you are playing with.

If you just look at the wins and losses, then the evenings gaming was a bad day at the office.

But that doesn’t tell the full story.

I had a great evening gaming with friends, did and saw some cool turns.

And that’s the more important thing. Winning is just icing on the cake.
