What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?

Funny thing about our play last night was that my daughter (who I had in mind when I bought the game) still did her typical 'can we stop' after 40 minutes. Where my son did the opposite I expected and got into it.

They did spend the day at the beach yesterday and were pretty wiped when we started. I'm hoping play #2 will go better... no more dust please.

Maybe it's in girls' DNA to not like games as much as boys.

LEGO Monster 4 with 4 players x5. Won 2. Might be my favorite LEGO game so far.

Ticket to Ride: Europe with 4 players. Won with our highest score to date. 158 to 119 to 110 to 101.

Just purchased Seven Card Samurai last night. It looks really fun and can accommodate 8 players, so that is nice for a larger group. It's very family friendly, and I hope to get some plays in today.

I played Eminent Domain for the first time and got third trying to win with Colonization and Trade/production. Then, I played Alien Frontiers for the first time and lost with no specific strategy. Then, I played three games of The Resitance and lost twice as a spy and once as the Resistance and Finally, I won a game of Dominant Species by first, starting mass extinction by playing blight on the central tile and later, camping on a group of sea, wetland and Savana tiles.


All in all, a fantastic day

Played Carcassonne x2 tonight.

The second game my brother managed to get 15 castles next to farmland, after all 3 of us fought to control the farmland.

Played Fury of Dracula last night with Zarovich and his friends; just moved to the area, so this was my first meeting with those guys.

The game was fun; unfortunately, Dracula was able to keep just out of grasp, ending the game with 4-6 life remaining.

Eminent Domain is an excellent deck builder that contains a lot more strategy than one would imagine. I haven't played my copy in a while, but your mention of it makes me want to bring it to the table next time I'm free to play.

I had two friends over yesterday. I played in 3 Summoner Wars games and they battled each other twice. I went 2-1. In between a couple of those we played KingMaker, which was even longer than last time. I think it was pushin four hours (although dinner was in there too, but still). I ended up winning it barely.

My analog boardgaming has taken a backseat to my IOS boardgaming (Summoner Wars), but I was able to get some light, family gaming in these last few days. We played another game of Guillotine (my wife for the first time), which is always quick fun, as well a snake-building game called Hisss.

In more serious stuff, I played a game of Heroscape and another solo game of Infiltration.

I also received my pile-o-Kickstarter stuff from D-Day Dice. I've played through a solo beginner game and hope to try two-player with my son soon. It seems like a fun game, and how can you argue with so much dice-rolling?

By the way, is that you doing the tandem skydive on BGG, Omahavice? Great video, and it makes me think jumping out of planes wouldn't be so bad...

I've decided to try a game of Summoner Wars against an actual opponent. I selected a more casually paced game set for 7 days as my first, and I selected Phoenix Elves. My opponent has chosen Fallen Kingdom. We both just finished our first turn, so I'm excited to see how this plays.

A game I recently purchased is Tannhauser. I actually purchased this before, but it was before the revised rules. I had tossed it away due to the fact that there was simply no way I could memorize all those tokens.

The game has equipment cards which I've purchased with it, so we'll see if I made the right choice in taking the plunge a second time.

Just ordered Last Will. It's actually a game that has been released (2011) that someone in my gaming group doesn't have yet. It has gotten really good reviews and looks like fun. Kind of Euro with some theme.
