More boardgames played from home, and on a small expedition that
didn't get a blog post of its own.
Suddenly
Onitama seems to
be a game people are prepared to talk about again, and I still have my
copy. One physical play, and a few on BGA where I was invited to try
an alpha; it's now gone into side-wide beta. This continues to be my
favourite chesslike game, indeed one of the few that I actively enjoy,
in part because the span from realising one's messed up to actually
losing is usually very short.
Incidentally there's also a live-play
site, though you'll need to do your
own opponent matching and chat: one person starts a game and gives the
URL to the other player.
Automobiles
on yucata. I lose a lot but I enjoy it.
Rallyman for the
ongoing championships…
Baseball Highlights:
2045
which, while it is soloable and works well in that mode, I definitely
prefer multi-player.
Lemminge on
yucata, but I hope finally to own it in physical form soon.
Nations for the
podcast (it's a bold move for a civilisation-building game not to have
a map, but I think it makes sense)…
ORGANISM [sic],
not yet published, but there's a moderately secret site for trying it
out. Not completely sure I could reliably play it yet without the code
preventing illegal moves, though I'll be paying attention.
Rallyman: GT
for a demo game and ongoing championships.
Raptor, which
somehow I missed when it came out. Light asymmetric two-player game,
with some luck but also interesting tactics.
Tea Time newly
on BGA, not deep but a pleasing diversion.
And some BGA alpha games that don't count as plays because for
whatever reason we didn't finish the game, but…
Talon: very rough
with some browser-dependent bugs, but I like this a lot and will
certainly be trying it more if I can't get some face-to-face games in.
Potion Explosion: The Fifth
Ingredient,
still some major bugs here too.
Burgle Bros.
which seemed to be working all right but I'm afraid I've rather fallen
out of my enthusiasm for this one. I found I just had no desire to
take my copy off the shelf to play it. So I sold it.
