…rules too quickly), causing the game to seem a tad tedious. Played correctly Toppo might be an interesting speed game. Nothing like Flix Mix or Set, by no means, but something decent anyway. I’ll comment more once I try this game with completely correct rules. One more part, I think, and that’s Helcon games covered….
…example. So, I don’t have to worry about components. Of course, using Mahjong tiles places some restrictions on the game mechanics (for example, set collection comes quite naturally with them), but in the other hand, restrictions can be a good thing. Why auction game? Because I’ve noticed that auction games are fun. I like the…
…second, we lynched a wolf on the first hanging and got the second one in the end. Good times, good times, particularly thanks to Anna, whose semihysterical defense speech after getting one vote in a test vote (not the actual voting round) was just excellent — of course she was hanged after that, and of…
…me. (Of course I have all of them.) San Juan. I’ve played exactly two games of Race for the Galaxy, while San Juan got 12 plays. I like San Juan better, especially with the expansion cards. Also, it helps that my brother prefers San Juan. 18xx. Of course! Two games of 1846 and one 1889,…

We then tried playing the game removing the restriction on actions, allowing the same action to be taken several times in a row. Turns out the difficulty of the game is very much caused…
…makes Who Did It? a lot more forgiving than most speed games. What’s to like: Lovely, silly theme, with a really nice combination of memory and speed. It’s always fun to see a speed game where being fastest is good, but not the only thing that matters. What’s not to like: The poop theme is…
…to win those games. With some luck, I’ll win all four which would make me quite safe. This whole championship deal really spices up things, makes playing the games so much more interesting. Meanwhile, I kicked Iain’s butt in Twixt, now we’re playing Amazons, which is much more entertaining. Twixt is just too damn bizarre….
…right in the end. It’s nothing spectacular, but perhaps I should play it a tad more often? It’s pretty cool for a small auction game. Few people seem to like it, my rating of seven stands pretty high amongst my GeekBuddies (but Iain likes the game). Then we played Wabash Cannonball. Two games this time,…
…the highest card in the most common colour in the trick. This can surprise players! There’s a new edition coming from Rio Grande Games with a sailing theme and the name Seas of Strife. This edition introduces a new rule, which we tried yesterday. It was a blast, and I recommend everyone to start using…
