I've played Tea Time over a dozen times most likely, and I keep finding new details. For example, I've been playing - and by extension - our competitive games with the Attack Coordination rules interpeted incorrectly, particularly with respect to...
After years of talking about it, we finally got Gunslinger to the table. And it's about what we expected, pretty awesome! While the rules seem extensive and fiddly, it turns out the game play isn't that difficult, and the rules for the most part make...
Another year has gone by. More games have been played. Not as many as I'd hoped at the beginning of the year, but possibly enough. I believe this is the first year where I actually acheived the goal I set out: Finish The Ringmaker cycle in Lord of...
This was my first actual opposed, competitive play. And this may be the start of many more with this opponent. We had played a long cooperative game a couple of years, with Bernals, etc. but I think it was too much for him to assimilate. There are...
Spent some time working on formatting the rules in LaTeX because it's getting close enough to be distributed. Also, I needed to review the rules as I intend on starting to actually play it more analog as someone else would play it.
That said, I set...
We played 5 games of Carn Dum today, and did not even get close to legitemately questing through the first stage. This quest has a well-deserved reputation for being extremely difficult, one of the hardest quests in the game. It also doesn't scale...
The start of a new cycle, Angmar Awakened and The Lost Realm. I've played most of the cycle co-operatively, but I don't recall much about it other than side quests are introduced both as player cards and encounter cards. I'm using the Elrond/Vilya...
Merry Christmas 2024!
If anyone were to follow me on Github, they might be aware that I have a design and a few game rebuilds underway. At the moment, Swedish Game Production Linebacker 2 is getting the most attention. Other games, such as Vigard...
It's been exactly 3 months since our last play. In that time, I've traveled to Ft Wayne twice, and JL's parents have moved into his house, from Florida, with half of their stuff. We've both been super busy or super distracted, or both.
We got our...
My usual Vietnam opponent stopped by for some hex and counter. Today was unusual as I did not have anything ready to go, and really didn't much inspiration either. So we spent some time discussing various aspects of games played and yet to play. We...
Ok so this took a little longer than anticipated to get this on the table, but I just logged a first play with the usual opponent. We had a good time with it, and we're not generally tactical players.
The situation is an ambush in the Mekong Delta...
A second Mile Lambo game on Vietnam, and this one looks considerably more intricate than Ghosts of the Jungle. There is a bit of print and play with respect to getting some counters made, but I got copies and mounted them a couple of weeks ago. Homemade...
Revisiting Ghosts of the Jungle as I also now have its companion game Long Range Recon Patrol. I don't recall the exact details on how to play, other than it's pretty simple and straightforward. Hence, replaying Mission 1 again. Here is the setup at...
It took 9 tries for my usual collaborator and I to beat this coop, hence this is my 10th play, albeit my first solitaire play. I'm using Deeds of Dwarves deck again because why not? It did really against the last two quests. Let's see how it works...
Deeds of Dwarves again.
Initial hand:
I took a look at Chad's deck for this and he want with Dwarf swarm, which is all I needed to see. Dwarf I know how to do, and I have a couple of pretty good dwarf decks already built.
Having them already built doesn't mean I can find them easily...
