The Oxford Meeples had another
quarterly games day, and I had a great time again.
We started with Imperium:
Horizons,
a three-sided match with Egyptians, Greeks and Mauryans (new player).
After lunch, and a quick round of Sea Salt &
Paper,
we went on to join Gibberers: The Word Game of Language Invention and
Civilization
Development
(available in small numbers at Essen). Starting with an 18-word
vocabulary, you take turns conveying increasingly difficult concepts
and expanding the language. I found it enjoyable, but quite hard
mental workâand therefore something I wouldn't want to play too often.
I should remind myself (hello, future Roger) that I always enjoy these
things.
