Last night was the monthly club meet up for December.

Unlike the Friday session numbers which have been incredible (for us) this get togethers attendance was on par with previous ones.

We split into two groups of three. Which saw Gavin, Colin and Jonathan playing Ticket to Ride, followed by Love Letter: Batman.

Whilst Julie, Macin and myself played a game Macin bought along Adrenaline.

The boardgame stats app reminded my it was way back in 2017 when I last played Adrenaline.

It was nice to have this back to the table.

Naturally a refresher was needed on the rules. But things soon came back to me, and we were all running around, shooting each other with cool weapons, picking up items, and trying to get the killing shot.

Adrenaline is as fun as I remember, and I’m glad Macin bought his copy along.

This morning on my day off I got to play a game of Vampire the Masquerade Rivals with Diego.

Today it was the two new clans from the new Wolf and Rat expansion doing battle.

Diego chose the nosferatu deck, whilst I went with gangrel.

I got off to a good start but seemed to run out of steam in the middle to late game.

Although I did burn one of Diego’s vampires. Which was pretty cool.

However the nosferatu agenda is pretty powerful, and soon allows them to catch up any lead others might have, and then pull ahead.

After being beaten by Diego we had enough time to do a learning game of Fields of Green (the game I bought off Gavin last night).

I got Fields of Green over Amongst the Stars because of the theme. With the farming theme I’m more likely to get it to the table with Jonathan. He doesn’t do sci-fi (amongst other themes).

I really liked this engine builder.

A two player game is slightly different to a regular three or four player game. So I’d like to try the game at its higher player count.

It plays quite quickly really for two players. But with the higher player count a draft mode is added at the start of each round. Which I’m sure will extend the play time.

But there is a lot to like about the game, but I’ll talk more about that stuff after the next play.

In the meantime the final scores below will confirm that I’m on a three game losing streak at the moment.

Ok having played a new to me game my challenge stats have been updated. So let’s share that progress.

Finally it’s time to end on the usual high note of Jonathan’s photos.
