So tonight we’re going to have a great turn out of players, maybe 7+. This means it’s time for an epic game of The Resistance. Another game we’ll probably pull out is 7 Wonders with the Leaders expansion.
Anyone playing anything new, or a game you haven’t pulled out for quite awhile?
Finally played Wiz-War with my daughter. Very fun! I like the mix of race and combat. She might have won if I hadn’t drawn some lucky Energy cards and not been able to place a stone wall and a fire wall in her paths…lol. She got rid of the fire wall, but not before I grabbed the last treasure and ran back to my home base.
Going away tomorrow, may bring Timeline:Inventions and possibly D&D Inn Fighting along. Otherwise I’m hoping Sunday will be at least 1 round of Days of Steam and Wiz War. Maybe a quick round of Eaten By Zombies too…
I think this weekend we’re likely to have some Magic as my daughter has now discovered this and has constructed her first deck (by means of assembling a pile of common blue cards that she just liked the look of). I did similar with a pile of white, so now we both have rubbish decks to play with, which is quite a lot of fun. Other than that, I’m hoping to get a game of Infiltration in, which I’m looking forward to.
I will be playing the P&P version of “The Duke” a new game coming from Catalyst Games Lab that is currently on Kickstarter. I tried the game at Origins and was hooked. It is an abstract strategy boardgame with a Medieval theme played on a 6×6 grid with wooden tiles.Plays in 10-30mins and is lots of fun!
Check it out if you have the chance. You can dl the rules here.

I think my weekend will be taken up by Advanced Civilization and some more Le Havre iPod style. In a potentially related note, I expect my brain to be mush come Monday.
Spending some time this weekend with friends in a cabin by the river! Bringing along a few unplayed games: Ad Astra (sci-fi settlers), Morituri Te Salutant (gladiators), and Formula Motor Racing (GMT).
I was able to play some Pandemic last night, but that may be the end of my board gaming adventures for the week, unless we have bad weather tonight. We’ll see.
I’d really love to try my new Memoir expansions, but folks are pretty busy. Will probably end up working on personal prototypes.
I picked up a copy of Roadkill Rally on sale this week, and I hope to get it played this week-end. I’m also hoping for Summoner War for the IOS to come out soon. It was submitted last week….
I’m going on a week-long holiday and taking some games with me. Seeing that most of the people I go with are either non-gamers or don’t have much experience, I’m taking gateway games mostly – Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, this kind of stuff.
Looks it might be Tikal, 7 Wonders, and Flash Point: Fire Rescue.
