I had so much fun playing Zombicide yesterday. We failed after 90 minutes but it still was satisfying. Looking Forward for the next try. 🙂

After killing hundreds of Zombies we were having a round of Augustus. Solid game, nice flow.

Yesterday we played Dixit. Such a stupid game. Seriously no fun at all.

Today i had some Netrunner rounds and probably there will be some Zombicide Action later. 🙂

Puerto Rico is such a great game. The anniversary edition has by far the most impressive components i know (beside of miniature games ofc).

Yesterday we had another Netrunner session. When our guests arrived we played Love Letter, 7 Wonders, Tabu and a glorious round of Zombicide. So much fun.

Uh, I almost forgot to mention the great King of Toyko (with both expansions). Shame on me. I love the Kraken btw, but I do never win this nasty dice rolling game. 😀

I played Seasons this afternoon with some parent-friendly modifications (more luck than strategy based). This evening we’re going to have some more fun. 🙂

Started with Love Letter. Going to be much more tomorrow. 🙂

Hey Nilo

As a Power gamer what are your new games of choice in the last few months? Did you go to Essen? And by “discard” do you mean to a pile nearby? Hopefully not to the trash bin!!??

Oh, by “discard” I meant I’m trying to sell them. 😉

Yes, I have been to Essen and it was fantastic (again). Actually I think there do not have been that much of highlights but I still got some impressions.

My new games of choice are almost limited to Android: Netrunner. Since this one has been released this summer in Germany (very late 🙁 ) and since me and my girlfriend started to “collect” together we had to invest a lot of ressources in this one. After Essen us Germans are in front of you guys concerning to Netrunner, btw. 😀 Now we are in serious business, having a weekly Netrunner evening in a local store, going to tournaments and building a lot of decks. That is what is making me a “power gamer” I’d say.

Depending on other games I do like, you might want to call me a “casual gamer” or whatever. At Essen I picked up the following games (beside Netrunner Datapacks): Love Letter, Smash Up Expansion2, Munchkin Pathfinder, Dungeon Roll, Zombicide (so expensive, ouch). After Essen via delivery: Ticket to Ride: Netherlands (love it) and Tokaido (my Essen Highlight, so relaxing, still not available in Germany, nvm).

So in general I’d say beside of Netrunner I am a pretty average player. 😉

I’m a game-hopper for sure. In general I do like almost everything that’s new. But since space and budget is limited even I am going to try to select more carefully and will be comparing games in my collection that are too similar and discard them.

So yes. There is too much. Power Gamers do have to chose wisely what to pick and what not to pick.

Played at Spiel 2013 in Essen:

– Rampage (weird dexterity based game, pretty funny but too expensive for what it is in my mind, decent components beside the incredibly ugly visual covers – what is it in english btw?)

– Cappucino (great! awesome game with a lot of pretty cups, still i won’t pay 30 Euro for a 10 minutes lasting joy)

– Bloodbound (well designed intrigue game, i wonder why to play this when you’ve got a number of Players allowing to play werewolves)

– Tash-Kalar (it did’nt get me at all, even with a good idea and serious 4 player Support I’d stick to Summoner Wars)

– Steam Park (incredibly stunning components! I do really wish I’d like the game, it’s visuals are so gorgeous but… I just don’t. Rolling the dice simultaneously is fun but then everyone is telling each other how cool his solitaire actions are. Not my type of gameplay, you should try it maybe)

– Glass Road (good, simply good, i dislike the art but the gameplay is great. Not a brain burner but still a nice strategy game with pretty cool ressource wheels)

– Concept (nice idea, I’d wait for Concept 2.0, this one is ok but some pictures are not as intuitive as I’d expect)

– Mascarade (hmm… it is fun, but it is random as well, still very entertaining for a Group having at least 6 players)

– Tokaido (amazing, so relaxing and enjoyable and stunning visuals, I do need this game for sure, not for playing every time but for just having a good time)

Great artworks for sure. Wondering about the game itself having some substance or not.

Not yet possible to post a Review on this? I played it at Spiel 2013 in Essen and it was a blast. Literally. 😀
