Games in the pub yesterday:

Earth:
Quite charming, thematically. I liked that everyone got to do something on everyone else’s turn, otherwise it would have been a bit dull. Very point salad - I’m less keen on this kind of game at the moment, leaning more towards shared incentive type games, or at least games where you can tell who’s winning. I’d still happily play again though.

Discworld: Ankh Morpork:
I love the Discworld books, so this game works great for me. It’s quite chaotic and “unfair” though, so I imagine it’s not for everyone. E.g., one player was about to win and then someone drew an event card that burned down two of his buildings :person_shrugging: Definitely not a game for getting over invested!

Prey another day: a quick card game where you all have the same 5 animal cards. Low values are apex predators and high values are prey. You want to have your high value cards “survive” the round by not being guessed by anyone playing a low value card. It’s essentially a game of trying to correctly guess what other people are likely to play. The game was fine, but I have some serious questions about the graphic design…
