A new beginning...

 Right, I'm going to try and write one post per week, actually writing about games I'm playing (viedogames, boardgames, and tabletop games) rather than simply listing them!

Games played 13-Dec to 19-Dec

This week, I have played a little more of Mark Of The Ninja - finally reached the next level/chapter And I played some of 1954 Alcatraz early in the week - Controlling Joe, I now have him in the infirmary area, where i've managed to get out of the hospital cell and acquire a bunch of various items from the nearby area. Mostly this week, though, I've been playing Max Payne 3, in which I finished the stadium level/chapter and the bar level/chapter, and am now someway through the following level (which is hot onthe tail of the kidnappers) And also I've played quite a bit on Goodbye Deponia, having now reached the point where Rufus gets thrown off the Organon ship and lands on the junk press.  I've managed to do all this this past week without having to look up even just a hint! So I'm feeling quite proud of myself for that =+)

Week ending Saturday 02-March-2019

On the 2nd, I had a day of gaming with 2 friends, hosted by me. First up was Pandemic: Fall Of Rome.  This is the 2nd variant, other than the original game, that I've played, and again it is different enough from the "vanilla" Pandemic to be worth a go.  Similarly to the original, some of the possible player characters have more useful special abilities than others.  We lost the first play quite badly, but fared significantly better the 2nd time around, and actually managed to beat the game! Then we played Voyages Of Marco Polo, a dice-placement game.  Again, it features player characters that each have a special ability.  The one I got (randomly assigned) sounded like it would be the strongest special ability, but in the end, I had the lowest score.  I do not think I made the best use of my character's special ability though, and would really like to have another play using the same character.  We'll see... Lastly we played Puerto Rico, it's kind of...

My first post of 2021!

Well, i took a break from gaming over Christmas + just into the new year. Since then, i have done some PC gaming as well as online boardgaming, plus one solo, 4-player game of Endeavor: Age Of Sail (without the expansions though) On the PC side, i've been focusing on Max Payne 3 (now onto chapter 12, part 3) and Goodbye Deponia (managing to progress, slowly, without needing to resort to a walkthrough) Online the boardgaming sessions i've attended have varied in the games played - including Kingdomino (i won!), Cacao, a co-op card game called The Crew, and a few others.  In fact tonight we played 5-player Stone Age, with some of the expansions (the jewels resource and extra civ card space that comes with it, plus the trading level) which i managed to win, by quite a margin in the end (my end-of-game score was 152!)
