April Games played GoF

|
Games played with a bunch of old and new friends over the course of the week at GoF. As usual had a great time seeing everyone and of course managed a few games as well. Played a total of 50+ games over the week. Highlights were Brass, Hanging Gardens, Extrablatt, Tribune. Honorable mention goes to Stone Age, Hamburgum, Twilight Struggle, Wabash Cannonball. Thanks to Alan for another fun year and all the folks who taught me new games.

My second playing of this new Ystari game. Played the advanced version this time but it still doesn't quite catch my fancy like their other games have. Played 3 times and taught one additional time. Players bid by placing buildings of graduated height (value) on areas of the board to score secret goals. |

Played this old stock game. Quite random fluctuations in the stock market make this game a bit silly. In our game everyone went bankrupt but me by the 3rd round...Thanks to Alfonzo and Bruce for teaching. |

In almost constant play during the week, seemed well liked by most and one of my favorite recent releases. Light and quick enough for a filler. Has a puzzle building aspect to it and a scoring tile set collection mechanic. One of my new favorites. |

Another game in the worker placement category. A bit long and tedious without much in the way of choices. |

Yet another worker placement game,this time with some dice thrown in to boot. Nothing new here but still somewhat interesting to play as you balance gathering resources to earn VP and feeding your cave meeple. another game in contant play during the week and getting some buzz. |

Abstract memory game. You flip tiles and try to collect your color. Nothing exciting here. |

Have now played with 3 and 4 players and I think works well with both numbers. Very nice train stock game that doesn't take too long to play. |

Taught this to 4 people. Seems to work best with 5. One player felt the market tailes seemed unbalanced but I don't notice much. Main problem is that whoever controls the horses is most likely going to win especially int he late game. |

This is an interesting game of attrition. Similair to Year of the dragon, you are struggling to keep what few resources you have. Not something I'd want to play often but it was a challenge. Seems to be a theme in recent years - trying to avoid starving meeples. Thanks to Chris for showing us this survival game of Easter Island. |

Kind of like zooloretto with some additional scoring meeples- trainers and fish feeders which makes it a bit more interesting and as cute as the other, but I'm not sure I need both. |
