Terraforming Mars and A Study in Emerald
Tags
Spent a pleasant afternoon with AW and his wife playing Terraforming Mars, followed by A Study in Emerald.
Terraforming Mars is one of the few mainstream "euro" style games which I actually enjoy playing. Most of them leave me cold, but TFM has enough theme and card play synergy with plausible science to make it interesting to me. I didn't win and didn't expect to. AW is very, very good at games and usually wind, which is fine. I made a pretty good showing though.
With a little persuasion, I got A Study in Emerald agreed to for the next game, and it went well. I'm not sure who actually won this one, but I was the sole Restoranist. We did not add up all the points, and it may have been that I did win as I had a bunch of uncounted assissination points, where his wife's safe points would not have counted.
Anyways, good times were had by all, and bonus, liverwurst and onion sandwich for lunch!
