I played World Without End for a second week in a row, this time with 4 players and was joined by Simon and James who were first time players.
I don't remember that much about the game other than that most of the building projects were available during the game, so there were quite a few points scored from that, but this meant that effort was spread around, so that the Tower was not completed. At the end of Chapter 3, I produced a couple of Cloth and was rewarded when the event allowing exchanging cloth for 3VP every turn came out, I was able to make 9VP out of this (as I think Mike did) including a break for making more Cloth, the event actually expired due to being pushed out by the other 2 blue events before I could get the full benefit.
Medical Knowledge played only a small part in this game. That's 2 games of this in a row that I've won, my luck can't keep up.
One of the new games this week was Castles of Mad King Ludwig, which has been compared to Suburbia by the same designer. I can't say that they look very similar, but I have not played, Chris has written about the game together with Tiny Epic Kingdoms on his blog.
The results for the week.

Yet another terrific game of WWE, it 's one of my favourites, yes there is an obviously luck-influenced element but the skill is in trying to ride the fortunes of events. When you lose by a narrow margin and curse a twist that cost you a couple of VPs, but usually the winner has had at least one similar mishap, I can remember only one game where everything went well for me and it would have therefore been embarrassing had I not won!
ReplyDeleteThank you for those 2 years full of fun. By the way Dave, we forgot to pay the last day (so embarrassing), I will try to remember for the next time I see you.
ReplyDeleteSee you soon.
No problem Jaime, I'm sure I won't remember and I'm sure we'll survive without. Best wishes to you both and hope to see you in the not too distant future.
DeleteJaime, all the best to you both, hope you manage to find a good gaming group whilst you are down there, really good to meet you both and thanks for all the game, take care, Stan
ReplyDeleteQué pena que no pudiera despedirme de vosostros! Dorset es bonito - hasta 20 anos yo vivía muy cerquita en Southampton. Hasta la próxima!
ReplyDeleteIf anybody had told me five years ago that I became a board game player, I had said "Imposible", but the life surprised me.
ReplyDeleteDuring two years, I have known West Midlands and the North and now I will know the South, outdoor activities and the sea.
I don't think that we will find other board games group so cool. ;)
I will miss you, and I hope to see you in game days.
Take care,
Isabel.
