More gaming with nearby friends.
A game from a few years ago, Sundae
Split, essentially
multiple player cut-choose with some hidden information. It's dressed
up as a very light game about ice cream, but it's much more thinky
than it appears. Worth revisiting, in fact.
Then onto Pandemic: Fall of
Rome. (My hosts had just
got a German edition of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which is another
Pandemic-alike, and while that seemed a bit much for our very
rudimentary German this seemed a more reasonable thing to try.) Also,
fortunately, I'm rather less burned out on Pandemic now than I was
when I finished Pandemic Legacy Season 1.
That said, it went in the usual Pandemic way, to the extent of the
traditional "if we'd had one more turn we'd have won, but instead we
lost" ending. And I'm not entirely happy with the characterisation of
barbarians as an infection. But even so I had a good time with this,
and (unlike Pandemic: Reign of Cthulhu) there's enough difference
from the base game to keep things interesting.
