More gaming with nearby friends.
The warm-up game was
Faraway, which I
continue to enjoy when I play it: slightly strange art that doesn't
distract (me) from the business of playing the game, and while in
something like Terraforming Mars I detest the early decisions to
commit to a particular strategy that it may or may not be possible to
follow later, when as here it's basically the whole game I find I
object rather less.
The scoring was the usual tangle.
Then on to Automobiles
oi the Monza track, one of my favourites because it demands a balanced
car setup rather than specialising into just dark grey and black. (Not
that I won or anything.)
In both cases my feeling was that I enjoyed that and want to play it
more. Clearly I need to play more games. BoardGameArena isn't really a
good substitute; the physicality and sociaising are both important to
me.
