The Tao of Gaming

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.

frunk:
It turns out there isn't a third edition, I was wrong on that. There is an expansion for 2nd edition, and you can still buy 2nd edition (I don't know if your blurb is still on the box). See here:
