A few things of interest this weekend:
First of all, we played the revised edition of Risk this weekend, and really enjoyed it. The game lasted just over 90 minutes with four of us, and no one was out of the running. Two players had a good shot at winning until the game ended. Like most of the times I have played this game, the game was about opportunistic play, and it ended somewhat abruptly. That's not a bad thing, just one of the differences from classic Risk.
We played Bang! also, which was new to the group. This is a game that needs to be played a few more times to get a feel for it, but it certainly is a family style game.
My son and I were out and about after football practice Saturday, and stopped by the newly minted game store in our area: Epic Loot Games (website below). In my opinion, they had a nice selection of games which was very current; there were no stinkers that I saw. The owners are boardgamers, which is not true of every store in our area, so they are a little more in touch with our world. They are also they only game store in town that even knows what BoardGameGeek is! It's more of a drive for us, but it's now my go-to game store. Check it out!
We bought The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game there. We then arrived home to find the box with Midgard and Phoenicia had arrived; these are two games I won off eBay for $10 plus $11 shipping. It was listed at that price, and I threw in a bid on a lark. Apparently I was the only bidder. With those and Memoir '44 showing up on the doorstep as part of a game trade, I had a busy week with games!
It's Your Move!
