Family party today, a few goodies for me and others. Got a couple of expansions for King of Tokyo – the Halloween one to replace some of my missing dice and then the Power expansion because I heard it was awesome. Didn’t think it through unfortunately so the main set is still in Swindon – oops! Looking forward to playing it again.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I forgot that I had put Hey, that’s my Fish on Alex’s wishlist, and that turned up. Beautiful little game, 2 mins to learn and 15 minutes to play. Suitable for children and adults too, and both together.
Got Set as well, and not overly enamoured with the “out of the box” rules. Great idea, but shouting out when you spot a set (instead of taking turns, or timed) was never going to work very well with my lot. Going to have to do “get as many sets as you can in 30 seconds” or something like that. Also doesn’t help that Linus has a ridiculously sharp mind, so will dominate almost anyone he plays against. Tricky.
More 3-player chess, Dad unimpressed with the change to the rules. I still like it though.
Creationary in the evening (like Pictionary but Lego), good fun but a bit too much scope for random guessing.
Not allowed to play Cards Against Humanity in my parents’ house, so that will have to wait for another day…
