Taj Mahal - I was keen to play this because I missed out on my annual fix at Rosliston. It has not been played at Halesowen since 2007. I went for provinces. I rolled over a bit too easily during the mid-game, should have made more of a fight for province 8 (I think). Nobody played exclusively for connected palaces.
ReplyDelete7 Wonders. The more I play this game the more I realise it is nothing but a bit of fluff. I still enjoy it though and it is nice to bring 2 tables together at the end of the evening.
Steve H was on a roll tonight.
Caylus Magna Carta - I do think it is a clever conversation of the fantastic Caylus board game but surly it shouldn't take as long to play as the "full" game. We could easily play Caylus 3 player in 140 mins even with new players! Having moaned I would actually be up for playing the card game, I sold off my copy years ago and I kind of miss it. I would enjoy introducing James and Phil to the original board version.
Comment from Mike : Even at 140 minutes it was pretty engrossing for me. Two things slowed it down, firstly the token buying card didn't come out until very late so it was very rare that more than one token was acquired per round, secondly Phil and I went a bit 'Residence-crazy' and converted just about all of our 2-block buildings early on, so there was a period with few resource sources, particularly for wood. Simon didn't go for Residnces ended up with something ridiculous like 18 Gold at the end, but Phil built the 14 Vp to edge me out.
ReplyDeleteI must stop calling him Simon........
