More boardgames played from home. Fewer games, but a bit more
diversity, or at least that's the way it feels.
Not to say that there hasn't still been plenty of Letter
Tycoon and
Rallyman: GT
on BGA. But I also played some
Automobiles
on yucata (as well as a very slow ongoing game of Lemminge; I don't
log games until they're over)
I tried out Beyond the
Sun since it's
now on BGA – and I had a good time, but there's a lot going on and the
end result pushes a bit far into the modern Euro space for my comfort.
I may well play it again some time, but I'm not in any rush and I
shan't be buying it soon.
A bit more Flamme
Rouge,
finishing off the BGG tour. (I'll do this again some time, but at the
moment I'm running both Firefly and Blood on the Clocktower on
discussion.tekeli.li and I don't really have time to run more games.)
Heroes of
Tenefyr
for the podcast. You won't be hearing about
this just yet, though; maybe in a month or two. Sneak preview: the
theme does nothing for me, but I quite enjoyed the mechanics.
A long-running play-by-forum game of
Leaving Earth
ended somewhat anticlimactically when I exploited lunar minerals to
come from behind and build huge Mars and Venus missions. I realise the
infinite money bug has been fixed, but I'm still not entirely happy
about this.
Another game of Pandemic Legacy: Season
1:
April, and we haven't lost a game yet, though it was looking a bit
shaky this time. I'm finding the storyline a bit predictable so far,
but we'll see how it goes.
And a test play of Sentinels of the
Multiverse,
because I wanted to find out if I liked it (and if it was different
enough from Aeon's End) to make it worth joining the kickstarter for
the updated edition. The Tabletop Simulator mod (of the old edition
with most of the expansions) is… comprehensive.
And the answer is: yes, although superheroes aren't really my thing,
they do provide a good handle on the sort of actions one should be
taking in the game; and a glance through the heroes and villains shows
a lot of variability.
