This
Meetup-based
boardgames group continues to meet at the Marlow Donkey (now twice a
month, though I can't make the Wednesdays). On a wet night the pub was
fairly full, though it cleared out quite quickly once we'd arrived.
Funny, that.
By request I'd brought along
Splendor, and
four of us played that while the other end of the table was playing
Ingenious. I need to work on my explanation of this, particularly of
the nobles, but everyone got the idea after a bit; we exhausted the
level one cards, and I ended up a runaway winner.
The games finished about the same time and we joined up for
Antidote, which
I picked up at the Handy Con bring and buy. The theme is fairly thin,
but basically you're trying to work out which colour you're after out
of several possibilities, with each player having very limited
information. Three of the seven of us got it right; I wasn't one of
them. I want to play this again.
Several rounds of
6 Nimmt! followed,
in which I had my first perfect (zero-point) game, then got about 27,
then had a one-point game. Which isn't terrible. With seven players we
tried having five piles rather than four for some of the games, and
this worked quite well.
We ended the evening with
Tsuro, six players
but ending up surprisingly tactical; these are people who had played
before, or managed to work things out quickly.
