I played and won two rounds of #Sumatra tonight. 😎

It's one of the many #boardGames designed by #ReinerKnizia, with the typically weird #Knizia style game mechanics. His games are always somehow simple and somehow pretty complex at the same time.

The box of my well used copy of the Ivanhoe #boardgame needed some more tape. After 15 years and well over 100 plays this #reinerknizia design still holds up for its clever card based gameplay. That box has seen things 😬
The cards have been resleeved and are like new. It’s always a good idea to include some spare card sleeves in case a sleeve splits during shuffles. I recently lost a score token so I was very glad to pick up some replacement tokens at last weekends @gmtgames #weekatthewarehouse

#VCSBG Monday night #boardgames and #craftbeer in #thousandoaks

A better turnout and a wide variety of games played this week.

By request I taught the classic #ReinerKnizia #boardgame RA. I did terribly as the RA tokens always came out at the wrong time for my higher value auction tokens. Still a great game though.

Games played included: RA, Archer Love Letter, Trekking the National Parks, Space Base, Huang, Die Hard, Azul, The Gang, Ancient Knowledge, and Love Letter.

One #ReinerKnizia #boardgame that needs a reprint is Ivanhoe.
It's a great family friendly card playing - hand management - risk taking - card sequencing game. And is a great way to sharpen your, or your kids, quick mental arithmetic skills.

Connor learned the game last Thursday and he turned up for Tuesday game night with a used but great condition copy he had found online.

I played #ReinerKnizia's push-your-luck dice game, #ZombieMania with my kids.

The very simple mechanics have you rolling up to 8 dice & continuing as long as you can set aside one with a zombie. If you match grave stones & zombies of 3 types, you can move zombies from your player mat to a shared graveyard mat or to other player mats. The first to clear their mat of zombies wins.

Playing multiple rounds results in points for any zombies on player mats. Lowest score wins.

I found a copy of the #ReinerKnizia #BoardGame "Lost Cities" at the thrift store. (I know, it's really a #CardGame, but it has a board for the discards.) Took it over to the furniture section, and sat down on a couch to make sure all the cards were included.

As I began counting, the classic rock station started playing "867-5309."

It's a cliche on Board Game Geek that it's a game much loved by non-gamer spouses, but sure enough, my wife liked it, and beat me 65 to 31.

Monday night #VCSBG #boardgames & #craftbeer at the Angry Ferret

5-player The Quacks of Quedlinburg #boardgame with the herb Witches expansion. We had an interesting mix of effects too. It was fun trying to get synergies with the tile effects.

Next were two game of Ivanhoe by #ReinerKnizia and #GMTGames
It's a great card game with bluffing, deception, and hand management.

Meanwhile the other tables played Heat, Lords of Vegas, Bora Bora and Illimat, and The Fox Experiment.

Two new #boardgames (for me) at the Monday night #VCSBG #boardgames & #craftbeer
The lone Halloween themed #boardgame was Gravediggers by #reinerknizia. As expected there were some bidding mechanics with a twist. We played twice. Somehow I won both. No comments please.
Next was Hollywood 1947. A hidden traitor game on making films during the Red Scare. It worked well. The patriots lost. The sneaky commies revealed themselves to win the 4th film. Boo.

My #BGstats 3x3 grid of #boardgame plays for October 2023

A bunch of new games and many old faves.
Some highlights of the month are that a) I reached the lofty heights of 1000 different (as per #BGG) #boardgames played. b) Last night we had 2 human wins in the #battlestargalactica game in barely 2.5 hours. c) I finally played Gravediggers by #reinerknizia and discovered more of his clever auction mechanics. He’s a bright lad that Knizia.

2/2
Meanwhile Paul and crew played Raiders of the North Sea with some of the expansions. They finished the night with a few games of the clever #ReinerKnizia card game High Society.

A few folks showed up after we had got settled. Cheers to Lawrence and to Robert for taking care of the newcomers. Now they know there is a Meetup group we can know to keep an eye out for them. Robert taught Hollywood 1947, a social deduction #boardgame themed on commies in the movie industry.

Monday night #VCSBG #boardgames & #craftbeer.
Ready Set Bet was played with the app instead of a GM. We experimented with different timings for the app. 5 seconds per horse movement roll was too slow. 2 was too fast. 3.5 was about right. I didn’t win. It’s a fun horse racing/betting game though.
Medici is another tight yet simple #reinerknizia #boardgame design. It’s always useful to have a simple yet thinky option that actually works with 6 players.
Tekhenku, Love Letter etc were also played.
