Another games night has come and gone and boy howdy, did we play some games! We had a fairly light turnout at about 10 adults, but we made up for it by gaming till 2am. We started out the games with Kirk's brand spanking new copy of
Fire and Axe. We had a three player game that went fairly well (or so I thought). The game is pretty good, not too confrontational, but with a lot of unique ways to twist the game in your favor. There is a bit of sniping in the game, but not so much that it gets in the way of having fun. Kirk ended up winning (and its not even a racing game!) with me edging Greg about by a point (tee-hee!). The lady-folk knocked out a game of
Apples to Apples and Kirk's new copy of
Time's Up, which they seemed to enjoy quite a bit. The gamers in the group continued on to try out my new copy of
Munchkin Cthulhu. It actually adds quite a bit to the whole Munchkin concept - its definitely a harder game to win and I definitely haven't adjusted to it yet, but I look forward to trying! Now that I think about it, Kirk won that too...that's odd... The lady-folk continued to chit chat and so we broke out an oldie, but a goodie,
Roborally. We had a pretty good time playing an option heavy map, though some people did get a bit carried away gathering options - did I mention that Greg won that one? We finally got the full group together for my newest acquisition,
Mall of Horror. This is a great little game that I think would do really well in the mass retail channel. Basically a political voting game with a whole bunch of cut throat behavior, but the game itself sets it up so that there's no real rancor. Good thing since I was the first to be wiped out...Kirk's wife, Jill, ended up squeaking out a victory. Eager for more gaming, we moved on to something to close out the night,
Shadows Over Camelot. I've mentioned this one before and am pretty pleased to say we had another great win 10-2, although I think everyone was really surprised to see that there was no traitor - with a full seven players! Argh!
As an addendum, Asher and I got in a game of
Star Wars Miniatures on Sunday, playing with our new board. Tried a heavily thematic game, with Asher taking a force of Republic Jedi and me taking a group of Sith. Good game and I promise to have some pics of the new board up soon.
