Our friends came to visit for the weekend and that meant, we played lots of games.
Day 1 we played:
Day 2 we played:
We got together with friends in a hired house for a weekend away. There were over 20 of us, adults and children. It was a weekend for us to catch up and spend time together, it certainly wasn’t planned as a games weekend. But a few games were played.
I was having such fun I forgot to photo some of the games, but here’s the play list and the photos I did take.
After the success of attending UK Games Expo we decided to visit our local board game cafe for the first time, Thirsty Meeples in Oxford (the original UK board game cafe).
We played:
And once we got home some neighbours came round, and we played:
What a treat going to UK Games Expo and being able to play many games, although only a small proportion of the ones available. What did you play and enjoy?
Here’s what I played:
Iquazu
A set collection and area control game with a waterfall that moves over the playing area removing any remaining tokens
Concept
A party game where cubes are placed images to help people guess the clue.
Beasts of Balance
A game that interacts with your tablet, where the items you stack appear in the world you’re creating (until the stack falls down).
War of the Nine Realms
Two teams of Norse characters fighting against each other using a 12 sided dice (can you tell I wasn’t taken by it).
Ore-some
Move around the mine to find places to dig for ore, and if you see another cart feel free to ram it and collect any dropped ore! Then complete contracts or sell the ore to the bank.
Drop-It
Collect points by dropping shapes into the frame and making sure it lands so it isn’t touching another piece of the same colour or shape.
IceCool
No photos of this, I only took videos of people flicking the penguins.
