Final thoughts from Colombus


Dead Sunday morning (as always) and an hour before my shuttle, so in no particular order:

  • Tried another game of Glory to Rome, and picked it off the prize table. Have to play this a few more times ...
  • Played Wikinger twice (basic rules only) ... that's probably worth a few more plays, with the advanced rules.
  • You know, Descent still had a large following here. People who normally cap their Euro-games at 2 hours don't mind playing that for 8 hours. And I saw some amazing tackle-boxes to hold & sort the components.
  • It turns out that I'm the blurb for the 2nd edition American Megafauna. Who knew? [I didn't, and that's been out 6 years.] I wonder if I'm on the box for 3rd edition.
  • I finally played Hossa (informally). I expect I'll be asked to return my curmudgeon reviewing credentials shortly.
  • I have some concerns with Caylus Magna Carta (four plays), but I need to think about it.
More in a day or two.
