boardgames

A couple of plays of Red Cathedral. We tried the advanced side of the boards for the first time. Definitely the way to go. Minimal extra rules and adds some interesting decisions. I lost both games, I think I tend to stay too committed to early decisions that are not working out instead of adjusting my strategy. Trying to decide if I want the expansion for this one. Not sure if the game needs it and it doesn't fit into the base box.

We tried the new Valley expansion for Renature. It's just a new 2-sided board with a few mushroom tokens but it shakes up the game dramatically! The mushroom tokens let you change a green area into brown and hence join brown areas together which are then considered the same area for scoring purposes. I love how this lets you raise the stakes and manipulate the board state. The new board is double-sided and the two sides are significantly different too. Gotta be one of the most impactful and yet simple expansions out there, almost like a v2.0. I am losing at this one too but loving every minute of it :)

Right now I have Nautilion on the table. Simple solo (or 2p coop) fun. I am fairly new to it, still have to try all the included expansions.
