More boardgames played from home.
Games have dropped off again. I don't think I'll abandon yucata
once I can play in person again (BGA, maybe; I don't want to
contribute to Asmodée's bottom line even by leaving a data trail) but
I'm definitely feeling that I want to get back to the physicality of
games as soon as I can.
Perhaps because of that feeling, Rallyman:
GT is back at
the top by number of games played, with games played in ongoing
tournaments. I did quite well in the final of our 12-race series –
alas, not well enough to make up for my previous dire performances.
More Flamme
Rouge: as I
write, the discussion.tekeli.li Tour is over, and the BGG one is on
race 5 out of 6.
Apex Theropod Deck-Building
Game
for the
podcast,
not I suspect one I'll ever go to the trouble of getting (and
storing!), but a welcome guest.
More Letter
Tycoon
though I don't really see any ways of improving my play at this point.
(Being ranked #2 in the arena standings, and having not got above #5
in total rating, is mildly frustrating, but only mildly.)
Keyflower with
other forumites: unlike most of the games that I play piecemeal, in
this one it matters a lot just what you were planning to do, and
there's a lot of board state to absorb when one comes back to it
(which doesn't really fit well even on the shiny high-resolution
screen of my new laptop). Rather better face to face.
And Memoir '44,
somewhere in the space between wargame and boardgame: it's very
stylised but at the same time tries to be at least a little bit
realistic. I moderated this one using Inkscape to get an understanding
of the rules, but I can see ways of implementing much of this in
usable software like my Flamme Rouge suite.
