Back to the boardgame café.
First game of the evening was
ito, clearly in the
Wavelength sort of space: get a scale to rate things on, each of you
thinks of a thing, try to arrange the things in order. Our feeling was
that it was slightly too fiddly to be a good party game, but too
party-game to be a good anything else. But if you want a more compact
Wavelength you could do worse.
Then Furnace
(base game only), which I taught and ran entirely from my
pocketmod rulebook. Another "why
haven't I played this recently?" game.
Finally Century: Spice
Road,
which one of us had completely missed when it came out. I couldn't
help seeing a certain parallel with the engine-building of Furnace,
in fact, though not enough to impair enjoyment of either game. Not a
classic, for me, but agreeable for an occasional play.
