Last game you bought?

Got tempted on Lords of Vegas, but skipped. Was also tempted on Fate of the Fellowship but it is often being played that I don’t see the point of buying it for now. But I’d love to “git gud” at it with friends and beat it at Legendary difficulty. World of Warcraft, Reign of Cthulhu, and Iberia remains undefeated.

Anyway, I finally got Fast Sloths from a trade with a club member. Keen to play it. Will need to print the rules

I bought glass road and rise and fall. Part of me believes I may never play the latter but it looks so cool!

R&F is rather straightforward. If youre teaching, focus on the cards, the iconography is rife! Also pay attention to the terrain type on the cards. I missed that a few times. E.g. you cannot settle a city on a moutain using a Nomad but you can with a Mountaineer

Found the 2017 KS version of Beasts of Balance at a by-the-pound Goodwill the other day, so picked that up. Rules are missing but I am betting I can find them online.

Ordered Season 2 of Cthulhu: Death May Die because it seemed to be a good deal on Amazon, despite only having played the game once so far. It was fun and I think having more investigators to choose from will be a real benefit in the long run.

Wouldn’t worry about the rules the app takes you through most of it if I recall correctly.

I bought a Hasbro game, weirdly they’ve printed a Japanese trick taker. So whilst on Amazon for a new car light, this slipped in.

Bought Flip 7 just in case it does well in the Spiel des Jahres and sells out or something.

Certainly a lot of shops I talked to at Expo had expected it to be only a mild success, brought only a few copies, and were surprised when it sold out quickly. I think it’s very easy to get people enthused with a demo or a single play.

Also bought Courtisans, because it was in my local Waterstones, and a playthrough on YouTube looked like the kind of thing my casual pub group would enjoy.

That flip 7 box is also great.

Apparently:

  • Sunbirds of the World
  • Gulls of the World
  • Shrikes of the World

Meanwhile, somewhere in the world, a keen bird watcher must be perplexed by the unexpected delivery of Brian Boru: High King of Ireland.
