Board Game Madness 10/13

Late this week due to an offsite meeting I’m at this week.

Fun:

·         Love the enthusiasm and it’s consistent with the overacting of the TV show…

·         Again, some people just do incredible work with minis for their games

·         New game idea – 7 Wonders meets Settlers of Catan. Oh wait – this is a real expansion!!!

·         So these “inspirational” posters are always good for a laugh

·         When in the alps, climb mountains play board games!

·         Kenny’s not to old to get this bib!

·         Bad sportsmanship after a win, who’s gonna clean up???

New Games:

·         City Tycoon: A city building economic game where you place tiles building the city and invest your own funds and resources into building up the city. Sounds interesting, release later this year in Europe, hopefully next year in the US.

·         Drako: So it’s dwarves vs. dragon in this two player game card/miniature game. Interesting thing about this one is it’s asymmetrical, similar to some war games. The dwarves are able to overpower the dragon, but must win before running out of cards.

iOS:

·         Starbase Orion – 4x space civ game a la Twilight Imperium – available NOW

·         Imperial – released

News:

·         International Catan Day is 11/15. Maybe we should have a game.

·         Days of Wonder has finally put Memoir ’44 on the computer, a long anticipated move. They’ve decided to use Steam as their multiplayer engine.

Happy gaming!
