Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Well since finding a babysitter for New Years Eve is nearly impossible we gave up trying years ago. So for the past five years my family has had a game marathon day leading up to the ball drop. We tend to forgo dinner and eat appetizers all evening between rounds of games. So far we’ve played Splendor, Archaeolohgy card game, and Ticket to Ride Nordic Countries and Ticket to Ride India. All but the card game were first times.
Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
My game group had its annual New Year's Eve game day from 11am-11pm, basically like our monthly all days. I only stayed from 11:30 to 6:30 so I could get home and hang with the family.
I played a 6 player game of Ticket to Ride Team Asia, where we had 3 teams of 2. I really liked this version and my partner Geoff and I kicked butt and crushed our opponent's. Then I played a 5 player game of Scythe with the Wind Gambit expansion. I brought my 6x4 table so we could us the larger side of the board with the extension. It was fun and I got to try out some of the new coins I got for it. I got both the $2 and $50 coins, but never got into the $50's. So with the 1's, 2's, 3's, 5's, 10's, 20's and 50's, there are plenty of cool metal coins for use with other games as well. The resin resource pieces are also great. Finally, I played Pandemic Rising Tides with 5 players. This is pretty different than other Pandemics I've played, as you have to keep building dikes and continue to fend off water that keeps moving inland and spreading as water cubes. Other than that, mostly just hung out and visited with my buddies. It was a good turnout of over 20 people.

Our total for the three of us tonight was... 2x T2R India (Xmas gifts) 2x T2R Nordic (Xmas gifts) 3x Splendor (Xmas gifts) 1x T2R Europe ?x Archaeology Card Game 1x Catan I really like the India game and the Nordic one is tough. Archaeology is a good short game that we enjoyed a lot this season. My wife seems to have taken to Splendor so we will probably play that. She set the family resolution of weekly game nights and we alternate selecting games and she promised not to grumble so we will get her to play heroscape again...probably a lot of Hoss/Star Wars coming up. Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

The Chas Christmas 2017 Gaming Report
Happy New Year Everyone! My Canadian pal was here for his annual holiday week visit, this year for 9 days. We played 16 games: Star Trek Ascendancy (5 Player) I finally ran my very first 5 Player! We had a great time, no one was eliminated, and everyone was in contention. The Borg Assimilation Expansion should be out any day now. Firefly (4 Player) Using story and set up cards from the newest expansion Crime and Punishment, we had a nice long game. I had a great plan, but almost no aspect of it worked out. Axis and Allies D-Day x2 (3 Player, 2 Player) Took this oldie off the shelf for some holiday fun. The Germans won one; the Allies won one. Commands & Colors Tricorne: American Revolution x12 My visitor is a C&C enthusiast from way back; we once spent an entire weekend playing the original Battlecry when it first came out many moons ago. This time we played each of the 12 official scenarios! My eighth C&C game is lots of fun. C&C Medieval comes out in 2018. There will also be expansions for Tricorne and for The Great War in this new year. |

Glad your wife likes Splendor If my wife liked any games, I'd play them anytime she wanted, but she is total non-gamer. I like Splendor, and it doesn't take that long, so you have plenty of time for other games as well in a game night.

I think that I better hurry and get some expansions for Kingdom Builder before she gets bored with it, and maybe I need to give Splendor a try too - - - Great trades with Onacara, Gypsy, SirGalahad, elltrain, generalgina, Concord, Just_a_Bill, LongHeroscaper, janus19390, and the very generous obfuscatedhippo. |

My wife actually does have competitiveness. I suspect that might be the reason that she doesnt like Pandemic. I don't think that cooperative is her thing. She needs to whoop up on someone. I really do think that I will give Splendor a try sometime in the near future. Or should I go with Century Spice Road? I have heard it compared to Splendor many times. And for me, CSR looks and sounds more appealing. Do any of you have any experience with CSR? Which would you prefer? Splendor does have the advantage of being less expensive though.
