132 and Counting



I decided to turn this blog into not only a normal blog to blog about stuff, but a blog to detail every game night! like last night for example!
there was me, TW, RS, KE. We started the night off with a game of Wasabi! (after everyone had eaten food). Me, and KE were able to grab, and hold on to the stack cards for the entire game. they are pretty key to getting a good score, methinks. The game ended, KE with 29 points, me with 28. TW had about 21, and RS had an abysmal 15.

Next up was Die Kutschfahrt zur Teufelsburg...or: The Coachride to Devils Castle.
it's an interesting card game where each player is secretly the member of one of the 2 associations. Throughout the game (while you are all inside the coach, travelling up the mountain pass, to devils castle) you must try and figure out who is on your side, and who isnt. There are occupation cards and object cards (travelling luggage) that can help. There are also 3 goblets, and 3 keys mixed in there. Once you think that all 3 objects of your association are in the possession of your team, you can declare victory. Everyone reveals their association and luggage. If you were correct and you have them all, you win! if you were wrong...well then the other side wins...it was quite enjoyable, though only with 4 players. it can play up to 10, and i think with 6 or more, the game will really shine.

Last game of the night was Hermagor. RS had already gone home. early night for her. so it was just 3 players. Hermagor is a mideival trading game. I kept not being able to purchase the goods i really wanted from the market, so I thought I was destined to come in last place. When we counted monies (points) at the end, i was thrilled to see that TW only had 67! I had 97. and the winner, with 121, KE!!!

Next week, I am hoping to try Chicago Express among others.
