This Meetup-based
boardgames group continues to meet at the Marlow Donkey.
This time there was a quiz night – a very sophisticated one, as
you had to play via some on-line service rather than on paper. Which I
suppose at least made the marking quicker.
We started with
Camel Up, which I
completely missed when it first came out. It's the sort of game where
you have to stake everything on a 2/3 chance of the right result…
…but if you do this and get lucky, you can win.
We went on to
Realm of Sand,
at which I did terribly as usual… though after a slightly rough start
people enjoyed it. I still haven't tried the advanced game (with
specific player powers), but I think it's a shame this one has mostly
been forgotten. (At least some of that is probably because it's not
available through Amazon, though boardgameprices shows many other
sellers.)
Finally,
Blame Space
which I picked up at Expo - as in the demo I played there, removing
the sixth set of faction cards to keep the game short. It was chaotic
and silly and not really something you could do much in the way of
planning for, and I certainly won't bring it along to every meeting
the way I do with The Resistance, but for a quick light game at the
end of the evening one could certainly do worse.
