Lord of the Rings the card game by @fantasyflightgames ♀️♀️
One to two player co-op card game set within JRR Tolkien’s Middle Earth. It heavily uses materials from the books and expanded lore rather than the films.
You put together a deck of cards including heroes, equipment, allies and events. Once this is assembled you take on a three stage story mission. Requiring you to explore, complete quests and fight monsters.
The game has a notoriety for being tough and taking no prisoners.
I can see why, some cards and enemies can just wipe out your heroes remorselessly. I liked the mechanics of playing with a deck of cards and upgrading and playing special actions from the hand. However, I’m concerned by content overload. I don’t know what our inclination to building decks and buying more content will be. It feels almost daunting at this stage. Also the scenarios so far feel a bit paint by numbers. It was very rinse and repeat mechanics and I was hoping for a bit more engagement, in a two player game you are effectively playing as one large player. I wish there was a bit of uniqueness available for each player. I suppose the uniqueness will come from the deck building that could occur.
What I would love is a ccg/tcg style game that is a straight card drafting/ deck builder. So for example you have groupings of cards day 1-10. You can go out and collect content to your hearts content. When it comes to the game you draft and deck build from the groupings, meaning you don’t have to spend hours building a deck and working out combos, the game has done that for you. Just an idea - but the thought of spending £££ and time building perfect decks just doesn’t massively appeal to me anymore.
I have always loved nature, hiking and camping so Trekking the National Parks from Underdog Games was a really fun one to learn!! I haven't gotten to visit nearly enough of the National Parks but living vicariously through the game was neat and it was fun to claim or occupy different areas. The components and board are also really neat! (check out these hefty meeples!) Do you have a hobby that is depicted in a boardgame #nationalparks #trek #camping #hiking #boardgames #boardgameaddict #boardagamelover #boardgamegeek #underdog #boardgamergirl #girlsingaming #geekygirl #nerdygirl #girlswhogame #womenwhogame #playallday #playmoregames #playtogether #gamenight #tabletopgame #juegosdemesa #analoggames #sundayfunday #meeples #bears
We didn't make the @derbyonboardgames Monday night event tonight for various reasons. We did however manage to get Clank! to the table. We played using the Gold and Silk expansion for the first time. We used the 'Silk' side infiltrating the Queen Spiders lair to get her precious artifacts. Really enjoyed this expansion, it requires the use of swords to chop through the webs to get the loot and adds extra tokens that need either swords or boots to even walk past! The clank bag appeared to be very kind to us this game with neither of us nearly facing death. Both managed to escape and score the bonus 20 points. Final scores were an impressive 164-142.

Played #elysium last night, reminding me why this is in my Top 10 games. The unique drafting mechanism coupled with the wide variety of interacting powers make for excellent gameplay decisions. Also my first time using Apollo and Ares, which both added new layers to the game.

Last night we got out Tzolk'in from @czech_games_edition at Table 42! We've played it once before and this time found it to be even more fun and challenging. The mechanics in this are excellent and we always seem to have a hard time getting everything done we want to by the end. If you don't plan right, your last turn or two could be really frustrating! This game definitely keeps you on your toes.
Anyone tried the expansion? We are definitely considering it!

DINOSAUR ISLAND || Quotable "More than one person should be able to look at a great big dinosaur!" || These are the BEST meeples ever.
Fight me.
Besides these awesome pieces, there's a pretty good action selection, worker placement, and dice drafting game in Dinosaur Island. It ain't all just for show.
I'll have more to say on this game later because we enjoyed it so much, we're playing it again soon!
Played Architects of the West Kingdom by @renegade_game_studios and @garphillgames tonight! It was our first playthrough and we aren't sure yet if we like it better than Raiders, but it was definitely fun with great art. We look forward to playing it more and getting better. We had pretty low scores tonight, so we'll have to see if we can get those a little higher
What do you think? Raiders or Architects?
