Last night deceit, half truths and smuggling where the order of the day as we tried to smuggle contraband past the Sheriff of Nottingham.

It’d been a while since we had played the game last. And this was a first time for Nathanial and Jess.

Since Jonathan and I last played the game I had managed to get hold of the mini that the publisher did for the store game kits. This mini replaces the cardboard standee used to signify who is currently the sheriff. As minis go it’s rather nice, and I bet it would look awesome painted.

At some point I should get the expansion for the game. But considering how often we get or play them game there is no great pressure.

It would appear from the result of our game that I am indeed the most deceitful. But we knew that before the game. I lied, bluffed and bribed my way to victory.

Our second and final game was also another favourite game that we haven’t played for a long time, Dice Town. This is another game with expansions which I don’t have. And yet again the amount of times this hits the table, would it justify getting them?

I’m pretty sure me asking the question not once but twice will have shocked my friends.

I was denied victory by one point. One point that I had until Nathanial played a card taking a gold off every other player at the end. That card gave him the win by one point. If he hadn’t played it, I’d have won by 3 points. Those types of victory are the sweetest. Nathanial seemed to be really happy with stealing the win. He said this was the first time he’s beat me. But I’m sure that’s not right. Sadly I can’t confirm either way because at the moment on the app I record game plays he gets logged as anonymous.

But still despite the heat we had a great evening of gaming.
