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 =+)

Games played 06-Dec to 12-Dec

On Tuesday, I played several 4-player boardgames online.  First up was Cacao, a kind of tile-placing game where you're just trying to earn money - the most money at the end wins.  There are various types of jungles tiles, which you earn actions and resources from, and then each player has the same set of meeple-labelled tiles (with different combinations of meeple counts on each edge).  You earn stuff from jungle tiles by having the most meeples pointing at it from adjacent meeple-labelled tiles.  I had not played it before, and came last.  It took me a while to get the hang of it too.  Netx up was Kingdomino, a nice simply tile-placement game, with several different colours of tiles, that you are trying to place on your own area so that each different-coloured area is continuous, as you score more points that way.  Somehow I managed to win this one, but it is a really simple-to-understand game! Finally we played Love Letter.  I'd played this befo...

Week ending Saturday 03-November-2018

On Tuesday I played a little more of Batman: Arkham Asylum on PC. It's easy to see why, when it was released, it gained glowing reviews - it's a joy to play (I recommend switching between controller and mouse/keyboard) and really captures the darker mood of the Batman world. On Thursday, I went to The Dice Cup with a couple of friends, and we played a game of Tiny Epic Galaxies , without any of the expansions.  Admittedly, I lost, but the scoring was close - 18, 21 and 22 points. Then on Friday, with my girlfriend and her son, I again was at The Dice Cup.  I introduced them to the joys of Star Wars: Destiny , a nice CCG that also uses dice.  I find it simpler to get the hang of than Magic:The Gathering.  Plus, it's Star Wars!.  For this, I used the 2-player starter set.  We also had time to have a go at Chronicles Of Crime .  This is an excellent, fullly co-operative crime solving boardgame/card game.  It makes good use of QR codes (every card a...
