The Weeks That Were 1/18/16-1/31/16

Well, I missed posting a week of games played. It wasn’t that exciting though so I’m combining the last two weeks into one post.

Monday – No Games

Tuesday – No Games

Wednesday – No Games

Thursday – No Games

Friday – Warrior Knights – This was a very cool game. I don’t think it should be played by only two people. I can’t wait to break this out when I can get four or five to play.

Saturday – Two Games

  • Carcassonne – Ah, the little tile laying game that could… I really like this game. It is so simple and fun. I have a few of the mini expansions for this but tonight we played just the base game. I think I need to figure out a better way to shuffle the tiles though. We had three Monastery tiles played in a row.
  • The Rivals for Catan – This definitely scratches The Settlers of Catan itch when you only have two players. It uses the basic concepts from the board game and presents them in a two player only card game.

Sunday – Star Fluxx – This is another fun little game. I’ll be posting a review of this one soon. I love the Sci-Fi theme. I also own Stoner Fluxx & Oz Fluxx.

Monday – No Games

  • Risk: Star Wars Edition – If you haven’t tried this one yet, you should. You can pick this one up at your local Walmart, Meijer, etc. It may have Risk in the name, but it’s not really Risk at all. I will have a review of this one coming in the near future.
  • The Castles of Burgundy – Rachael and I are getting very close scores in games. We were less than five points apart again.

Saturday – Two Games

  • The Resistance – Three rounds, seven players, one victor. Well not really… We had both the spies and the resistance win in these games. We are still trying to figure out the voting for missions. I think we need to do it more; a lot more. We’ll see how this plays out in the future.
  • BANG! The Dice Game – This was the first time I have played with six players. I ended up as the Renegade. It is so hard to win as the renegade. I think I did a stand up job though as it was down to me and the Sheriff. I lost

Sunday – Two Games

  • D&D 5E – I think our Dungeon Master has been trying to kill us all. We are a part of four characters including a Bard, Cleric, Rogue & Sorcerer. This past week we fought a tough battle that knocked down two of characters and both missed their first death saving throws. One missed a second before we could stabilize them. We even had an extra Ranger in the mix to help out. My Rogue and my friend’s Ranger were essentially untouchable as we both could dash around the battlefield staying out of melee range. We are getting close to level 7 and I am curious how events are going to unfold.
  • Campaign Manager 2008 – This was a fun game! I played as McCain and Rachael was Obama. It was a nail-biter! We fought a bitter campaign down to the last battleground state. This will definitely see some play for a while.
