Will be bringing along Glen More II kickstarter again which was faster than expected with 3 last week, so will try a 4 player game, if you have never played the original game, it’s well worth a try. About the same complexity as Wingspan. Looking for 3 new players for a “starter game”
Hi
I’ve popped in a couple of times and would love to join in some more games. I am not a complete novice, however I am seriously out of practice. Will there be any games this week that might be suitable for me to join?
Thank you
Regards
Sam
The more the merrier!
Hello Sam, I will bring in a few lighter games this week. Alien Frontiers, Evolution: Climate, Ticket to Ride and Entdecker have all been popular with new visitors. David
Thank you
I also fancy some shorter/lighter games tonight, so I’ll bring a few extra options.
Having played A Few Acres of Snow (set in Canada) at the weekend, I’d like to try out Quebec this week. It’s a reasonably well ranked game on BGG but it’s one of those games that I think would be even more popular if it had better artwork / graphic design. The main mechanic is worker-placement-like, with players using their architects to open up the worker locations, which means the available locations change throughout the game. However, there is also an area majority aspect to the game because workers eventually end up in one of 5 scoring areas. At the end of each of the 4 game rounds, the workers score 1 point each but the person with the majority in an area can cascade half of their workers to the next scoring area. I’ve never seen this in another game. There are also leaders (giving special abilities) and historic events which provide some variability. Best with 4-5 players and takes around 75-90 minutes so time for something else afterwards. Let me know if you are interested.
Steve – I am happy to give this a go
Me too please.
Yes please Steve, I’ll grab a place
