Ok, a long time has passed, so this is going to be a very quick recap of what has gone in the past weeks with very little commentary. This post covers the end of April; hopefully I'll do May tomorrow.

I seem to recall that Ben made a move that I thought indicated he was a cylon and therefore my ally and so, as President, I played an arrest order on Apollo, the other pilot. It turned out that it was actually Apollo who was my Cylon ally, but all turned out well in the end as the humans were defeated.

"Dave & Ben played Monsterpocalypse, I don't have details of that game"
ReplyDeleteI got squished (as usual) by Ben
Well I thought Comuni was a fine game. It all hung together, there was tension, nicely entwined mechanics and as the elements added together to give a feel of a power struggle you could say it had a reasonable link with the theme.
ReplyDeleteThere was enough depth there for me to know it would take a number of tries to suss what constitutes competent play.
But then I think Caylus is a wonderful game so Dave D we will again need to agree to differ.
Fair enough Gordon, I know we do this on quite a few games, I don't doubt that you are probably right about needing a number of plays to become competent, the same is also true of Caylus.
ReplyDeleteMy problem was that even by half way through, I was wishing I was out of it, the mechanics seemed to have no connection to what theme there was and it all seemed to be a matter of manipulating cards and cubes. Added to that was the sort of blind auction mechanism that I generally despise.
