Our 4 player game went 2 1/2 hours, and I think we can cut that by a half hour next time. Our alliances also changed more often. We had our alliancesfor the first season, then changed them in the second season, in which I played the betrayal action just for the heck of it (bad move) and the third season 2 of us were left unaligned.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
In my first Rising Sun game I played Lotus Clan and came in 3rd of 4. In my second tonight I played Dragonfly and came in 2nd of 4. So I'm inching up the victory pole! This is an amazing game both in the rules system and the graphic execution. It doesn't get much better than this!

Got to teach a friend her new copy of Hogwarts Battles for her birthday yesterday. We only got to play the first couple games, but it's a solid and fun little co-op deckbuilder. I'm sure it'll get more interesting and challenging as you get through the remainder of the 7 games. Arena of the Valkyire - Help create Heroscape's next Master Set!

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Played a third 4 Player of Rising Sun within the last five days! I was tied for the win playing Koi Clan with more Honor to break that tie, when the last person scoring shot past us both to land only two VP ahead for the win. Sooo close to a first win! So far I've played Lotus, Dragonfly, and Koi clans. We're still playing with the newbie settings for Kami, and Season cards, and the original 8 monsters.
I'm already organizing four more play dates with new contacts from Boardgamegeek and old pals this month! I had the only Organized Play thread there (for NYC). A second one just appeared for out on the Pacific Coast. Blood Rage has 13 different monsters. Rising Sun has 22, plus 7 Lucky Gods and 7 Kami, for a total of 36 (they don't all show up in any one game). But besides having 8 different clans to play in an up to 6 Player game, other variants include the random selection and positioning of Kami, four more sets of Season Cards to swop in, a random addition of monsters, and the usual game variety including different possible player counts from 3 to 6, and where and in what order battles take place in each of the three Seasons. So replay value is particularly high. Ironically, the last two of my games were won by the person who was a complete newbie, and didn't own a copy or know the rules when we started out! During the second game we drank sake, and at the third I played Japanese music (two of us had sake with dinner afterwards). This is a superior game design if its your kind of thing. Its easy to learn but hard to master. And so far everyone who has played it wants to do it again! If you are cruising Bgg, I recommend the 36 min review and teaching video by Man vs Meeples. Also just took delivery of Pendragon, which looks terrific, and made a first game date for early March. Last edited by chas; February 12th, 2018 at 04:14 AM. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
That's cool that you get to play Rising Sun so much Chas. Of course it figures that when I post on my group's Facebook page, asking for people interested in playing Concordia with the Salsa expansion and get a few takers, a couple hours later, Zack posts looking for Rising Sun players.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Not actually playing yet, but to prepare for World Cup I began re-researching soccer games on the market to be able to simulate some of the games. Modified Soccero has been our go to for a few years now, but I finally procured a copy of Soccer City which I feel will dethrone it. FUBA looks to be an interesting take that speeds up the game by abstracting it a little. The most shocking find for me is Striker!, a miniatures ruleset for a full blown tabletop soccer match. Hopefully
@Stephen Universe
and I will be able to have our own World Cup soon to have a head to head comparison between all of these and possibly throw in Soccer World Tactics for old times sake, especially since that is the only game with an actual gold cup.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Forgot to mention that my Rising Sun copy showed up on Tuesday (right after I checked my e-mail again and didn't find a shipping update so either they never sent one or I missed it somehow). Looking like we may be giving it a spin on Saturday.
