Games Played 10th June 2015
A real mix of games tonight, some old ones re-appearing at the Club after quite an absence (Der Ausreisser and Mystery Rummy), some new (Firefly and Bombay), a heavyweight (Nations) and some lighter fare (Colt Express and Bombay). I (Mike) was on the 'fluffy' table with Suzy, Steve K and Stan, starting with an interesting pick up and deliver game called Bombay, using cute elephant pieces to move cubes around a map, a bit like "Age of Steam - lite" I suppose, just the right length at 60 minutes. "Colt Express" is definitely "RoboRally - lite", programming your moves and attacks (punches and bullets rather than lasers, as befits the Wild West setting) to pick up booty, it was a lot of fun, except perhaps for Stan who ended up with no booty at all as I couldn't resist punching him in the face one last time. Finally a truly evil game first released in 1991 called Der Ausreisser based on long-distance cycling, I had hoped that I'd cracked the others after a brutal 3rd race of 4 saw them all ship lots of penalties, but the wheels fell off for me in the last race and Suzy narrowly overhauled me for a deserved win. A really enjoyable night's gaming on our table.

I have played one game of Colt Express. It was a 6 player, noisy, riot of fun. I don't mind if I don't play it again but that one time was a blast.
ReplyDeleteI was definitely picked on in Colt Express, I was punched, shot at and robbed several times but was still an enjoyable game - components are fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteBombay also has cool components, I remember several pink palaces making it onto the board which is always cool to see
Der Ausreisser is just mean!!!!!!! Good fun though
Overall an enjoyable nights gaming - sometimes several fluffy games are just as good as one big heavy game on the night
