Had another game of **Karekare** today, unexpectedly. I think I enjoyed it a little more than yesterday, but it still falls under the “kinda neat, but not wow-ing me” banner.

**One Deck Dungeon** was next; another new game to everyone. We played with 4 players and it took too long for my liking, and I wasn’t excited by the puzzle of “how can we make all these dice results be the ones we actually need using combinations of special abilities”. I can imagine it being more fun for some than it was for me, and I might enjoy it better after another play, but I don’t feel very inspired to revisit it.

A few games of **Hive** and **Fox in the Forest** followed. I won all of these, but my opponent was pretty tired (and new to FITF), so not very surprising. I really should have lost one of the games of **Hive** but they made a single mistake in their would-be-endgame which gave me an additional turn, and I was able to drag it back for the win (eventually leaving them without enough moveable pieces to finish the job, after which I was free to move in and surround their queen bee). I felt a bit bad, but it was a pretty interesting game because of that one mistake, and I think it showed the game off well.

I then taught people **China** which was lovely as always.

Lastly we had a game of **Century** (Golem Edition) which I found pretty dull. Mostly we were silently staring at cards figuring out what to do next turn, and if I’m going to be doing that I want the gameplay to be more exciing than this. It wasn’t terrible, but I don’t have any interest in playing it again, and I can’t for the life of me figure out why it has an average rating as high as 7.7 (or 7.4 for the regular edition) on BGG (although Century did remind me a little of Splendor, a similarly highly-rated game that I similarly have no interest in ever playing again).
