I got in all of my new games yesterday.
- Calico - 3 solos by now. Wildly different scoring. Love the puzzle (had played before on TTS so I knew what I was getting)
- Unmatched: Lost with Artus to my partner’s Medusa. Thanks @COMaestro for posting all those times Medusa won. And because I lost so badly, I will get to play again.

Hardback is so much better on the table in my native language. I really like how the deck building comes together and it does remind me of my favorite deck builder Star Realms in a good way. But it’s a puzzle and it plays solo, lovely. Also the ink mechanism is great. Buying more cards that you then have to use… my final word was “Fön” btw
my longest one was “Stirnglatze” (yes, I used duden.de to verify)
Tonight we had a wonderful online game night of old favorites (both games and friends )
- 2 games of Azul in TTS which… … I both won. It was close between my partner and me (2 points both times, the other two were a bit behind). And that fully scripted lazy people’s mod that does all the work…
- Then 2 games of 7 Wonders on BGA. My first ever BGA games and I must say I am pleasantly surprised how much fun that was. I won one of the two games because green cards…
- 2 rounds of Hana Bi which we had not played in ages and my partner was not having fun. I do not regret giving it away in this week’s purge. I like the game but The Crew is much better.
The nicest thing about tonights game-night? Nobody had to explain any games. No teaching, just playing.
We would all much rather play games on a table together counting points ourselves and setting up games. When you don’t have to do that 7 Wonders lasts all of 15 minutes… But as we’re sliding into the third wave… game nights here are still a far off dream.
