Hexicon 2 11 April 2024

Hexicon is a small church-hall convention held quite close to me. I missed the last one but made it along this time.

First game of the day was FUSE, always a good warm-up.

Then on to Nokosu Dice, which our host had asked about. Still enjoying every game I play of this (and for a rarity I actually won). I still think 4-5 player is better, though.

Lemminge: Wer Springt Zuerst? and a more than usually vicious race.

A stroll around the church as we broke for lunch. As modern churches go, I quite like it.

Revolution! with the Palace, in which I think I played my worst game ever (clearly I am an expert teacher).

And finally Dune: Imperium – Uprising. Whether it was the people, the environment, or the game, I don't know, but I enjoyed this more than my play of the original at Zatucon last year. I still didn't love it, though I'm not really sure why; perhaps my dislike of the original book means that it doesn't carry me over the rough spots (the way it does with something like Firefly).

Now I want to run another tekelilicon.
