Let's get the bad out of the way.Tuesday night fails, euchre, arcana, MAYBE pixel tactics but only because I think I played it wrong.
Euchre was like a dentist drilling out a tooth that was located in my kidney and he was using a light bulb to do it. I don't know what that means either but I fucking hate that game. So much I refuse to speak on it more... Fucking game
Arcana. This saddened me. I am a big fan of cadwallon and love the lore evolved in that universe but this game tasted bad. Now granted we only used the A cards and it is possible we didn't have the rules down well but ugh. I'll give this game maybe one more play then it's out of here. The PVP type take on a deck builder is neat but it just didn't do it for me. At all.
Pixel tactics. I will admit I wish I had printed out the second edition of the play test cards, but I'll live with what I have. I might have just not figured out the direction the game is meant to go or something but it seems REALLY over powered with some cards and attacks. Though I think it is meant to play best out of 3 games or something. It had the amount of depth that I had hoped for but the play felt a little loose. I think I might make pa grid playmat for it. Might help a bit.
Now for Tuesday's wins.
Pandemic. For a first time ever play we did damn good, I am told. We only needed one more turn and we would have knocked out the fourth virus. It did did feel like one player was kind of ordering the rest of us around. This cold be her experience with the game was better or she could just be a take charge person but at any rate there were times I felt less like a player and more like a warm body rolling dice and playing cards. All in all I like the game but not sure the 40.00 I dropped on it and the expansion were worth it. I'm sure to get some simple player time out of it maybe using 3 classes.
More after a short break, aka, hit f5 or come back in a few min
