More solo and on-line boardgames.
Starting as usual with
Rallyman, for
the monthly challenge.
Don't drink and drive.
On to
Rallyman: GT
for both the ISGOYTRA challenge and the Rallyman Spain circuit (this
one based on the Circuito del
Jarama near Madrid.
I've played quite a bit of
VOLT on yucata.de,
and I'm still enjoying it - it feels like a lighter version of Robo
Rally but with a more interesting decision space. There's still luck
in there, of course, but a game without luck just comes down to a
Chess-like slog and you have to do finicky player-skill matching in
order to have interesting games.
Came second in a game of
Cacao (which I
jumped into because it was one of the few Yucata games I'd actually
played before); better than I expected but it's not a game I'd be
likely to buy.
More
Bowling
Solitaire
for the league; I probably won't do this again, but it was an
interesting thing to try.
It's hard to tell whether I'm getting better at
Red7. Probably not,
really. But I've been having fun with it.
Can't Stop is the
standard introductory game on Board Game Arena, and it's available on
Yucata too. On the one hand, it's really obviously balanced so that
all columns are as hard to complete as each other. On the other hand,
what matters is how many rolls you can make during your turn without
busting… I rather like this.
Indeed, Can't Stop and 6
nimmt!
are my standard "have a few minutes, play on BGA" games. And the
players are pretty ferocious. Still, it's good to improve my skill.
I've had a game of Machi
Koro, again on
yucata, and another is ongoing. I'm trying a strategy of sticking to
single-die cards; so far it's got me a second place out of four.
Automobiles
also on Yucata: the thematic integration is weird to non-existent but
I rather like the game.
More Flamme
Rouge as the
first Tour de Peste has come to an end, but I'm still administering
two of these.
One game of Colt
Express on
BGA - which turned out to be a strange multi-handed variant I hadn't
seen before, so I wasn't surprised to do terribly.
And a couple of plays of Go 500 Racing Dice
Game,
as the six-race league comes towards its close.
