When the cats away!

 Susan was out of town, so I managed to sneak in a game!

Confusion in the Souk

Marakesh is a great game!  But the first play through is an exercise in confusion!

 

Bees in Space

 An extremely odd theme.  But Apiary is a lot of fun!

Terra Mystica Redux

 Age of Innovation is Terra Mystica reprinted and rebalanced.  I liked it a lot -- but not enough to replace my copy of Terra Mystica.

Lapped, and then again!

 When to Christina's place to play Tapestry.  I was smoked so badly -- my score was a bit over 100, Christina's was over 300!

Charterstone Continues

 Continued with Charterstone.  I am being smashed in this campaign -- but can I avoid being last?

Some more Charterstone

 It was great to see Christine and crew.  But my Charterstone position is poor and getting worse!

Christines Birthday

 Played Scythe at Christines place.  We did the random map variant, which adds a lot to the game.  We then went on to play 7 Wonders with the leaders expansion, which was also great!

How not to Charterstone

I couldn't play last month, so Cassie played for me.  She left me a fantastic starting setup, and I totally underappreciated it.  Net result is I came way down in the pack!

Scythe ring in

Games night at Christine's.  The consensus was Scythe.  I bumbled along and didn't do that well -- which was OK.

Rise of Fenris #8

Our last Rise of Fenris.  Given my poor starting position, could I manage to scrape a win?  A totally different set of victory conditions really helped!

In the end, I won the game and campaign.  But it was immense fun.  With robots with death rays, mad monks, mad scientists, etc.

Thanks to Christine for arranging it!

Rise of Fenris #7

Our second last game for Rise of Fenris.  I got moved to a new start position -- the normal Nordic start position.  Except my workers didnt have the 'swim' ability to get to useful locations.  I was trapped.  I managed to build transport, but by the time I got my engine going I was a long way behind.

Rise of Fenris #6

No spoilers.

I won, but didnt get 6 stars.  And big, terrifying Robots everywhere.  And next game they will be coming for me!

Rise of Fenris #5

Playing the Rise of Fenris campaign.  A new faction appeared.  (Wont say anything, because of spoilers)

I won - though it was close.

Rise of Fenris #4

I didnt get to play #3, but my replacement ran hogwild and won.  So my faction has changed.  I wont say anything because of spoilers.

I didnt win this round, but still managed to get 5 stars.

Rise of Fenris - Scenario #2

A similar result to the first game.  I got 6 stars, but didnt get max points - coming equal 2nd.

Rise of Fenris - Scenario #1

Rise of Fenris - the Scythe campaign.  I managed to get 6 stars and end the game, but Christine beat me in the final scoring.

Scythe Group again

Back for a second try.  This time I managed a win

Scythe Group

Got invited to fill in for Christine's Scythe group.

Got totally trashed -- but learnt a lot.

More Gaia Project

Went to HOGS and played my second game of Gaia project.  I won this handily - having a game under my belt made a big difference!
