My April plays... a lot of new games for me this month, as is to be expected during Swancon.
Memoir '44 - 36 plays. Played for the first time this month
My, that's impressive...and all in the past week. I have only just started playing it, it's a nice little wargame and it is so, so quick to play online - so it has a lot of novelty value. So many scenarios. Anyone else liking it, I'm Dread Pirate Leece on Days of Wonder. That goes for Ticket to Ride variants as well.
Ticket to Ride: Europe - 8 plays
My favourite standby - a mix of cardboard and digital plays. Never as many as I would like.
King of Tokyo - 5 plays
Such a riot, and a must buy after the first couple of games we had this month.
Tsuro - 5 plays
Won this boxed game, it gets played a lot and it goes to a lot of people and is short. I can take or leave it.
Hey, That's My Fish! - 3 plays
I play this with my mum a bit on my Galaxy Tab.
Love Letter - 3 plays
Learned this at the WABA meet this month but I am no good at it. Am Convinced guy I was playing with was a telepath.
Nefarious - 3 plays
Bwahahahaha!
Aquileia - 2 plays
A new game for April and it is so good, I want to play it again and again.
Tigris & Euphrates - 2 plays
Playing on my Galaxy Tab with my sweety.
Timeline: Inventions - 2 plays
A popular filler with the groups we play with.
7 Wonders - 1 play
Dixit Odyssey - 1 play
Flash Point: Fire Rescue - 1 play
Learnt this at Swancon, impressed enough to join the Kickstarter to get our own copy.
Mutant Meeples - 1 play
Learnt at Swancon, don't really want to play again.
Pandemic - 1 play
Ticket to Ride Map Collection: Volume 1 - Team Asia & Legendary Asia
1 play of Legendary Asia. Still haven't played Team Asia yet.
Ticket to Ride Map Collection: Volume 2 - India & Switzerland
1 play of...er India I think.
Vinci
1 play of this. Still better than Small World but Small World is ok.
That looks like it.
So glad I'm not the only one that feels that way after Mutant Meeples. I think I'd rather gargle broken glass than play that game again.
ReplyDeleteI hear, you Clinton Coddington , I hear you. It could have been a nicer experience. When there's a time dependant, brain judo game going on, I believe that the experienced person teaching should perhaps consider sitting out. It may not be deliberate, but a series of blinding fast winning moves in rapid succession while you're still figuring what meeple does what under the clock is very demoralising. It still wouldn't be my favourite game but I would at least actually consider playing it again in possible preference to cleaning all the bathrooms in Grand Central Station with my tongue.
ReplyDeleteNot to brag but I'm a pretty fast decision maker and I don't suffer from AP but when you ladle all that extra pressure on, my brain just shuts down.
ReplyDeleteLikewise, except for timed scrabble or monochrome chess.
ReplyDeleteIn that I rarely suffer from AP, but timed games give me brain freeze, except the examples above.
ReplyDeleteI think the only one I really enjoy since it is just plain fun is Escape the Curse of the Temple
ReplyDeleteI've not heard of that one. Sounds like fun! (goes and looks it up)
ReplyDeleteOh it does sound great!
