Hexicon is a small church-hall convention held quite close to me.
To warm up,
Sea Salt &
Paper,
always good fun.
Then on to Imperium:
Horizons,
which I'm getting better at: Vikings vs Egyptians this time, and Glory
seemed like less of a trap than usual while I waited for the cards I
needed for Vinland (which never came). I'm also getting faster at
scoring, to the point that I find it less work to do it by hand than
to take the photographs needed by the scoring site.
Then a couple of games of
VOLT, one to teach
three new players and then another to play more seriously. Always
great fun, and yet another game that I really should play more often.
Finally I'd been curious about
The Isle of
Cats and
one of the other players had a copy to hand. It was involving enough
that I didn't take any pictures, which is generally a good sign;\ the
theme is really irrelevant, but I enjoyed the intricate puzzliness
while being frustrated by the drafting.
