Board Game Week In Review 1/23/12-1/29/12
Each week I’ll go through my games played and provide some commentary. Ask me about any of these games for more information.
Ascension 2 games: Still slowing down and still losing. Ugh.
Magic: The Gathering 3 games: These were against an AI program called Magarena. It plays a pretty good game.
Can’t Stop 8 games: I’ve been writing about my iPad app. Can’t Stop is a fantastic dice game up there with Liar’s Dice. Great design and fast and fun to play.
Battleship Galaxies 1 game: Quick write up here. Fun light-er weight space combat game. I’m looking forward to giving it another go with some more of the rules.
Blood Bowl: Team Manager - The Card Game 1 game: Finally got this to the table with the board game crowd at work. It went over pretty well. We only got two out of five rounds in at lunch but I think now that we know the rules we could get a full game in. Very fun with a great theme.
Mage Knight Board Game 1 game: My first win in the solo game BUT, I played with a smaller map and easier cities. A fantastic adventure game and I’m learning more about different strategies each time I play.
Monopoly Revolutions 1 game: Cory request and I’ve been wanting to give it another try. Wow is Monopoly a long game. We were playing it straight, auctioning off the properties and no Free Parking bonus. But still an hour-and-a-half later and there were only six houses on the board. We called it a night.
