boardgames

This was a shockingly busy game week for us. I blame the 4th.

My wife and I played the following over the week:

Hanamikoji - still an interesting little card game in the vein of something like Battle Line where you want to control either a certain number of cards, or a certain point value's worth of cards.

Ra the Dice Game - dipped into one of our older games. After figuring out how it worked again had a pretty good time with it. Reminder that older games are still fun.

Marvel Dice Throne - Thor stomped all over Black Widow (this was not a shock). Didn't help that I whiffed a couple times over the course of the game.

Indiana Jone Sands of Adventure - Prospero Hall continues to make IP based games that are better than they should be. We played this a couple times with just the two of us. Came close to winning, but never managed it. I can only imagine how chaotic this gets with more players. I would think the timed phase gets bonkers.

Five Tribes - Another dip into the past. Had fun with this one as well and the score was super close (I eked out a victory by 3 points).

On the 4th we had some family and friends over so we broke out some lighter party games

So Clover - Generally love this one. Usually find it hilarious. Didn't quite click this time but still fun.

Rhino Hero - This is always a fun dexterity game for me. I don't care that it's a Haba game. If you can't have fun building the giant tower with this game I suspect you have no soul.

In a Grove - Delightful little puzzly game. Which of you is the worst detective? (It was me. I was the worst detective)

Just One - Had fun capping the evening with this one. Even though at this point we were very mediocre by the scoring rules.

Closed out the week with

Cubitos - love this dice builder. My daughter took the win by one square.
