Sunday is Duel-day.
2p-only games started with Caesar!
Moved onto Watergate to try and take down a modern-day wannabe dictator.
Surprise hit was Kelp: Shark vs Octopus
Beautiful thematic game of underwater cat & mouse.
Octopus uses deck-building engine
Shark uses bag draw & dice-placement

In anticipation of the new & very monolithic Kemet: Rise of the Gods, I was able to get Blood & Sand editon to the table.
I forgot how tense the end-game scoring can be with this "knife-fight-in-a-phone-booth".
Last round had 3 out of 5 players clashing to the last.

Dune Imperium – Immortality Digital Expansion Coming Soon
Two posts in a day, but this one excites me and I've just had time to actually write it up after a few days. Hence why the "news" here is more "what excites me" and not "breaking and you must read it here first!" Dire Wolf Digital is knocking it out of the park recently in the digital realm. Wednesday is going to have a review of the latest…

Had some last-minute cancellations for #gamenight that knocked player count down to 2.
Brought the old-school classic Star Realms as a backup along with lane-dueler Riftforce.
Both games were new to my #boardgame opponent but he loved them immediately.
Love that RiftForce is on Board Game Arena!

We have new players in the #boardgames group so I've been bringing classics to the table
Last week was Cyclades, this week Bloodrage.
The painted Monsters were a new addition from the last play.
I deliberately drafted the Fire & Frost Giant twins just for the photo op.
Surprisingly they won it.

Sunday was first opportunity since PAX to get the #boardgame group together.
Wanted to get a troops-on-a-map game to the table that was streamlined without fiddly rules.
Finished painting the creature minis for Cyclades last month. Major boost to table presence.

Happy to announce that Rally The Troops has intuitive implementations of 2p and 3p games that are hard to get to the table IRL.
Maria is what brought me to RtT but playing Fort Circle titles like Votes for Women and Shores of Tripoli has me hooked.
Great 2 player titles.

A friend introduced our PAX Unplugged group to Paperback. He has just picked up the 2nd edition.

Fun deck-building race to score the most points (awarded as cards of reimagined pulp fiction covers).
Here's one player frustratingly going to elementary school mode

Biggest hit of PAX Unplugged for breezy, quick "while we're waiting for your friends to find us in the gaming hall" game was Flip 7.
Once our group formed up we still played several rounds of this push-your-luck convention staple.

1st annual PAX Unplugged Board Game Hot Takes podcast-inspired Dune Imperium Uprising 6 player team mode game.
3+ hours the "good guys" pulled off a 24-22 victory over the Emporer's forces of Law and Order.
Thanks to Ted(tksc4) for making it happen.

What is one of your comfort movies?
With Halloween festivities and the US Election hitting back-to-back getting a weekly game night group assembled has been a challenge.
Plus there's the problem of my latest "games-to-try" stack being commandeered by the laziest of cats.
Hoping soon to play of Joyride & compare to Thunder Road.

Can't wait to use this.
I've been reading the rules and imagining the struggle I'll have getting this to the table.
This could be the fix for what I imagined was going to be lots of fumbling with rule books while the 1 other person I corralled into playing Red Dust Rebellion looked on in boredom.

Wow, Prabha has done some amazing work to support the non-player system here.

Gaming group is shifting to more "filler"& "quick-to-teach" games with 4~5 players.
Play 3 then draw 3
Saw Su&Sd review of Courtesans boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/40... and gave it a go.
It was a hit
Watching people that thought it was too "simple" agonize over where to play card#3 was brilliant
