The Oxford Meeples had another
quarterly games day, and I had a great time again.
I'd brought along the
Crokinole table
and that drew in several players.
We moved on to three-player
Tinderblox,
always good fun.
As groups ebbed and flowed, we played some Compile: Main
1
followed by Sea Salt &
Paper,
and one I haven't had out for far too long, Welcome to the
Dungeon.
Still good fun; I still don't like the player elimination aspect, but
it is maximum four players and rounds should go fast.
Then time for something meatier, Great Western Trail: El
Paso,
which is more or less a miniature version of "proper" Great Western
Trail. The usual abstraction gap problems for me of course, but I had
a good time and with a total teaching plus playing time of two hours
the game felt about the right length to me.
Finally, Steampunk Rally Fusion: Atomic
Edition.
One player joined late and was flailing a bit with the rules, but we
still had an enjoyable game. I will have to try playing Korolev again,
since he gets a bonus for a minimal machine (5 or fewer cards) and my
usual style is a huge bloated machine…
