Back to the boardgame café after a
bit of a break over Christmas.
We started with current hotness Forest
Shuffle.
Interesting; the card-tucking felt like something of a gimmick, but
the set and combo collection seemed to work well (though there's the
standard huge-deck problem of having to commit to collecting a set
which may simply never appear). The rules missed out several points
which arose from the components (the answer in each case being "ignore
this unless a card tells you to do it") and parts of the iconography
were unclear, but I'd like to play again now that I have a better idea
of what's going on. (Alas, published by Asmodée.)
I can picture an automatic scorer for this, like the one for
Imperium, that you just feed a photo of your layout and it adds up
all the conditional points. As it stands it can get quite involved.
Then on to
Trio, which we've
enjoyed before. My memory isn't what it was… last weekend. I'm
definitely being tempted by this one.
Tiny Epic
Galaxies,
which we haven't played here for quite a while (my notes say April
2017). It does what it does reasonably well, but it's fairly limited;
I don't feel like replaying it much more often than this.
And finally the traditional Timeline, in this case General
Interest,
with a decent amount of guessing.
