More gaming with nearby friends.
We started with
FUSE and it went…
poorly. Two of us got locked into cards which needed quite specific
dice, and we went several rounds with no progress at all. Still good
fun though!
Then Royal Palace, a
Xavier Georges design from 2008. There's worker placement and majority
(it only gets you a small bonus, but this is the sort of game in which
3 can be much more than 2), and a very neat mechanism of discounts
which means that money gradually becomes less useful even though you
can get more of it. It's the sort of game at which I do terribly (a
reason why I didn't get into "German-style games" in the early 2000s),
and I did, but it was fascinating to see the mechanisms working.
