While it was a bit wet this weekend, at our 98th event we were nice and dry, inside playing board games. Specifically, these ones:
Yura Yura Penguin
High Season
Scythe
The quest for El Dorado
Food Chain Magnate
Settlers of Catan
Ticket to Ride Europe
Wormholes
Spicy
Splendor
Splendor Duel
The Worst case Scenario
Amsterdam
Gizmos
Terra Mystica
Ark Nova
Takenoko
Great Western Trail
Blockbuster
Skyrockets
Marvel Legendary
It seemed to be a night to play some of the longer games, with quite a few of them taking multiple hours to complete, such as Food Chain Magnate, Amsterdam and even a 2-player Ark Nova.
After a bit of a break, Marvel Legendary made it to the table again, though the lack of practice showed as they were unable to beat the mastermind Klaw. We had to put 2 tables together to fit Scythe, as the 7 players all battled it out. And it’s worth mentioning the quick game of Great western trail that had to be close to under an hour of play.
My personal favourite was learning Wormholes, a strategic passenger delivery game that had us trying to maximise our few actions and abuse the teleportation wormholes to make as many points as we could by delivering passengers to the planets they wanted.
