Intercalary games in May 11 June 2022

Some friends live nearby, and I visited them for gaming.

We started with Just One, using the right rules this time (in a three-player game, each non-guessing player writes two clues) – and still managed to have one card with no clues at all. Still good fun though.

Then Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition, testing the coming month's solo challenge (which is just a game setup, it doesn't have to be played solo). This was a pretty tough one: Haka and Ra were both knocked out of the fight (at the same moment), but Fanatic became a mass of whirling blades (more so than usual) and won the day.

Finally Snow Tails, the game that people talked about when I first enthused about Flamme Rouge – and yes, it's definitely got elements in common. On reflection it reminded me more of Rush 'n' Crush in which you similarly trade off speed against lane changes. Must play that again!
