  1. The wife and I played 'Fate of the Fellowship' last night. What a great co-op game. We won it by the skin of our teeth after 3.5 hours.

    Here we see Sauron and his Nazgûl swarming in the wrong place allowing the Fellowship to do other things unimpeded - which always raised a chuckle.

  10. For-Ex had the "why on earth did you buy this game" letter on back of the box. I'm exactly the kind of person to buy a game after reading that. I played the original four times before passing it on. It was a weird game, hard to understand, and while it looked nice, it was inconvenient to play.

    I was tempted by another Amabel Holland title, Rayroads, and while buying that, noticed there's For-Ex II: She Made Another One. It's from 2024, but I had missed it completely. A friend of mine wanted a copy, so I added that to my order, and yesterday, we gave it a go.

    It's still very weird.

    Everything's streamlined a bit, though, and the new dry-erase components are a major improvement. Handling things is now much easier than it used to be. Understanding what to do is another thing; I've rarely seen so much head-scratching from a group of four experienced players.

    I know I didn't play well, as proven by my last place. I had a pile of Chinese yuan and managed to convert those to other currencies before the end of the game with a reasonable rate (trading 5 yuan to 5 euros, when the correct rate would'be been 12.5 yuan to 5 euros). That did unfortunately little good for me. I was a bit too broke in other currencies throughout the game.

    There are clever things in this game. I quite liked the way you have five action tokens you can use to do the different actions in the game: four regular actions and one wild card. The spent tokens go to a queue, and whenever you do a Resolve action, you fill your tokens to five from the back end of the queue. Also if you end spend your last token, you get five from the queue. Those five can be anything, so you may end up severely limited in what you can do.

    I'm looking forward to future plays. I'm pretty sure this is more of an interesting experience than a solid game, but right now it's an experience I want to explore.

  12. Externalization of Costs - This is something we do not see, as the consumer. What is the cost of the cheap labor and cheap materials on the social and environmental conditions where the games are being made? How does capital shift the financial burden of running a business onto the public sector, versus digging into any profits?

    If you're really worried about the #BoardGame Industry and care about #Boardgaming these are the things you should look to avoid, to maintain a healthy market.

  13. The first issue of #boardgames APA 'Of Dice and Meeples' is out, and the next issue's theme is racing games.

    Now, I don't want to startle you, but it seems ODaM is full of Rallyman nuts, so if you think our opinion of the best racing game is wrong, I for one would like to hear what you think we should be playing instead.

    And that goes for any kind of #boardgame, racing or not, so if you like writing about them, consider a submission to ODaM.

  20. Was für ein nettes #kartenspiel, mit tollen Origami-Meeres-Motiven und guter Spielidee, es ist immer wieder möglich den Gegner zu überholen.
    Ich habe auch die "Extra Salt" Erweiterung, gibt zusätzlichen Spaß.

  21. Had an unusually close game of RoboRally this afternoon. My beloved was a bit ticked off in the moment when I used my Tractor Beam upgrade to drag her off the final checkpoint the register before I won it. I had reminded everyone a couple of rounds earlier that I had it!

  22. Running an airline is hard.
    Costs go up fast. Margins stay thin.

    Spirit Airlines is struggling right now.
    Talks for funding. Risk of collapse.

    Airlines look simple. They are not.
    It’s constant pressure. Every day.
    If you want to see how hard it really is,
    try building one.

    Play OpenSky.

  24. One of my young nephews had made this absolutely brutal board game.

    The last five squares all end up in a loop so the only way to win is to land on the 6th last square and then roll 6.

    There's also another loop earlier on.

  25. Well, here I am in #Perth #WesternAustralia and what better time to bring together some disparate hashtags by letting you know that there's some #CrowdFunding going on this month with some local #Boardgame designers for some #MicroGames

    Here's some interesting WA games coming up in May on Kickstarter. gamefoundrywa.wordpress.com/20 from gamefoundrywa.wordpress.com/ga

  26. Heads up that I've restarted my board gaming Mastodon feed.

    Instead of memes, you'll be getting commentary and reviews on board gaming and general table top gaming topics.

    I have been board gaming and collecting since the 1980's and have a collection full of rare and hard to find games and classics.

    Hop on over there for #boardgame action.

  27. On parle beaucoup de retrogaming…
    Mais peu de gens sont prêts à s'affronter à Schaska (1973).
    Pas d’écran pour te distraire.
    Pas d’excuse technique.
    Juste toi et ton adversaire…

  29. I had the chance to play World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King this weekend. It blends a couple of aspects of prior Pandemic titles: the dice-based combat of Fall of Rome and the spawn mechanics of Reign of Cthulhu, replacing the cultists with ghouls and shoggoths with abominations. The typical "five cards of a color" mechanic is replaced with quests: roll the dice to advance on a quest track, while players at the quest location can reveal cards matching icons on the quest track to move additional spaces. Players have health that can be reduced from combat or questing. Player cards grant one-time use abilities and icons for quests instead of depicting locations. Players must complete three quests before taking on the Lich King at the citadel, which is a fourth, longer quest track.

    In all, I found myself enjoying this one. It's not my favorite Pandemic, but I think it's more engaging than Reign of Cthulhu. Quests provide an interesting alternative to the usual "cure" mechanic, and I like cards not being locations but buffs or abilities.
