									<p><strong>Campaign Corner Report</strong></p><p> </p><p>It’s been a while since I have done one of these so I thought I could shine a light on what happens before the board games come out. The morning of each CBG Event we have Campaign Corner. A place where Table Top Role Play Game’s (TTRPG’s), Campaign style board games and other long format games meet. We currently have 2 tables running, a Dungeons and Dragons table and my table, where we play Daggerheart, a card based TTRPG.</p><p> </p><p>My table have been playing Daggerheart for just over a year now and have really enjoyed it. A narrative driven game where the table as a whole create and drive the story. This means, unlike many other TTRPG’s often I, as the GM (Game Master), will answer a players question about something with a question of my own. For example;<br />Player: “We head to the market”<br />GM: “As you come around the corner, the tight alleyway suddenly open into a vast market, you see brokers and stall holders brandishing their goods. A small individual, halfling or light framed dwarf maybe, rushes up to you shoving a large fruit into your face, “want some …” . Describe the fruit and what does he call it.”</p>								</div>

									<p>This is a simple example, players at my table have created entire society structures and taboos. This game, while still coordinated and directed by 1 individual, the GM, encourages co-operative storytelling and world building.</p><p><br />As a result of this style of play, it can create some very impactful moments. I will not be describing what happened this last event due to spoilers for my players but simply to say those of us who attended the CBG Event only played a few light games and then spent most of the night in debrief and discussion about what happened at the table during Campaign Corner.</p><p><br />It is fantastic that CBG has space for people to sit and discuss without the need of a game. It really does build on that community aspect of the club. The ability to relax a chat while still feeling included in the activities of the night.</p><p><br />If you are interested in taking advantage of Campaign Corner, simply have a chat with a host in an orange vest at a CBG Event to find out how to book a table and start an adventure of your own!</p>								</div>

									<p><strong>Event Report from Hobbo</strong></p><p> </p><p>Mel, Colin, John, Chris, Gwyn and David H were able to play some of Mel’s new games she brought back from Playcon. The games they played were magical athlete and Bristol 1350.</p><p><br /><a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/454103/magical-athlete">Magical athlete</a> is a game about racing around a track with a multitude of characters to pick from, each with a special action that can trigger at any point throughout the race.</p><p><br />Each game consists of two races using the characters that each person picked, and the winner was the one with most points at the end. Mel won the first game overall and David H won the second.</p><p><br />The second game was <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/308989/bristol-1350">Bristol 1350</a>, a game about escaping Bristol, on carts, without getting the plague.<br />To win this game, whoever was in the carts, must escape Bristol first with everyone having symptom cards four or less. If the first cart has a plagued person on board, the remaining players get one more turn to escape. If no healthy carts leave Bristol, everyone loses.</p><p><br />Throughout the race, Mel abandoned David’s Cart for Colin and Chris’s, which end them escaping Bristol but full of sick people. John and Gwyn crossed second but had sick people on board. Surprising everyone David H managed to cross the finishing line on the final round with no sick people making him the winner.</p>								</div>

									<p><strong>Spoiler Free Fenris Report</strong></p><p> </p><p>For first time readers or those unfamiliar with Scythe: Rise of Fenris, this game is a story over the top of an already great game, Scythe. As the story progresses the game changes, end game conditions may be different, player strategies or tactics will change and even rules may be altered depending on how the story plays out. As such, it is getting harder as the game continues to keep this blog spoiler free! So much has changed. I have made sure that all photos of the game remain free of any plot points or new game mechanics but let’s just say if you like Scythe, Rise of Fenris is Scythe turned up to 11. <br />Here we go.</p>								</div>

									<p>Haydn started the night of with a fast victory. Leaving us all wanting 1 or 2 more turns to get our engines pumping. Speeding through with a double hit of a combat star and an objective star in the one turn left Mel with no stars on the board at all! Not a great start to the evening. With that game over so quick we decided to reset and go again with the next scenario.</p>								</div>

									<p>The next scenario was a strange one. It started out like the game was halfway, we all had extra workers, a couple of buildings, it was a great boost. I had finally worked out how to use the Wind Gambit Airship and my player ability to move around the board a little more and was off to the races.</p><p><br />The scenario had us on the hunt. The locations to check were the explore tokens. The game would end either buy 6 stars as per normal or by collecting 5 explore tokens. The latter was my goal. I knew I couldn’t beat Haydn with stars or slowing him down, but maybe I could get the tokens before he got his engine rolling! It took a few fast moves and a Factory card to get it done. The Final Explore token allowed me to also helped me trigger another star, so I not only ended the game but claimed victory! Sorry Haydn 😀 </p>								</div>

									<p><strong>Spoiler Free <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/242277/scythe-the-rise-of-fenris">Fenris</a> Report</strong></p><p> </p><p>Our campaign continues. This event we managed to get another game in, and Haydn didn’t win! So the story continued with more twists and turns, and Haydn gaining an advantage moving forward. I had been hording coins for an objective to have $20 at the end of the game while the others had been whizzing around the map interacting the scenario for this game. Each interaction cost the $1 at the end of the game allowing me to sneak into victory. Clan Albion, my faction, is only able to move 1 hex at a time and therefore was too slow to collect any of the scenario items. This resulted in me not loosing any points at the end of the game and secured my victory, even though I really wanted to interact with the scenario at least once.</p><p> </p><p>I have really enjoyed the Rise of Fenris campaign, especially as it is my first campaign game the excitement of finding out what is next is still very new. We are hoping to have the campaign finished by the end of August and I have already lined up my next campaign style game for when that happens. I’m Hooked!</p>								</div>

									<p><a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/342070/thunder-road-vendetta"><strong>Thunder Road Vendetta</strong></a></p><p> </p><p>This game has made the blog so many times these past few months and finally I had an opportunity to play, I’m so glad I did. What silly fun this game is! We have spoken many times about how the game plays so here’s a story instead, something this game is rich in.</p><p> </p><p>The race started off with a dash to The Choke, a narrow canyon lined with high cliffs that would result in destruction if collided with. It would not be the cliffs that claim the first victim of the race, for we were racing on Arrakis, and the worms were hungry. Sensing the vibrations of the White Teams Medium racer they attacked, destroying the vehicle in one bite! On the first straight the Grey Team was already down a racer and that was not a good omen for the rest of their race.</p><p> </p><p>The drivers raced ahead when the road rapidly narrowed. It was the entrance to the canyon and a helicopter for the green team arrived. Guns at the ready to fire upon any to attempted to enter the narrow pass. This wasn’t successful, only causing a few dents, until a contest for the canyon entrance between the Orange and the Green teams, resulted in the Light scout from the same team was pushed back into the path of the helicopter’s bombing run resulting in the first loss for the team. Now Green was also down to 2 cars…</p><p> </p><p>Bursting out of The Choke and entering the Glass Oasis. With slides, ramps and sticky toxic waste this section of the track was rife with excitement and danger. The White teams Heavy Racer had taken the lead, Orange had taken victims, and Green was just trying to extinguish a fire that seemed to never end. It was this fire, reignited by a pot shot from the Orange Teams Light Racer, that immobilised the Green teams Medium racer at the end of the Glass Oasis straight allowing the Orange and White Teams to enter The Zag unchallenged.</p><p> </p><p>The White team, now down to their last racer, pushed ahead striving for the finish line and victory. This was not to be. After collecting a series of hazards, the Heavy vehicle succumbed to its damage and was eliminated from the race. The Green team’s Heavy racer was not about to let the Orange team have an easy victory. They pushed their vehicle to the limit and attempted to catch the leader. While attempting a risky manoeuvre found themselves crashing into a pit trap, being eliminated from the race and giving the Orange team the victory!</p><p> </p><p>Congratulations Tim, you fought hard and had some good rolls along the way. Thank you David for teaching me this wonderful, silly fun game. A fantastic way to end the night.</p>								</div>

									<p>I got to try out the <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/319971/monster-hunter-world-the-board-game">Monster Hunter World</a> game. I’m only new to the franchise and excited to absorb as much of it as possible. Josh introduced me to Monster Hunter a few months ago so when he posted on Aftergame that he would be looking for players I jumped at the opportunity.</p><p> </p><p>The idea of the game is that you play a Hunter. A member of a group of heroes that are supporting the environment by managing the gigantic monsters that roam the land. These monsters need to be identified, tracked and captured or destroyed.</p><p> </p><p>The co-op game starts out with the tracking and identifying component. As a team the players read through a “Choose Your Own Adventure” style of story. The decisions chosen may reward resources or hints about the monster you are about to face. But. Each time you stop to check out a clue or to rest it costs you time. This is a deck of cards, that once it runs out you lose. So don’t delay the encounter too long or the clock might run out.</p><p> </p><p>Once you find the Monster the game really kicks off. The Players and the Monster take turns until the time deck runs out or the players faint three times.</p><p> </p><p>On the Monsters turn, you reveal a monster card and follow the instructions. It will move on the grid and try and attack the players. At the end of the card, it will say how many players will get a turn before the monster acts again.</p><p> </p><p>On a Players turn, they play cards down on a stamina board. The cards played will use up places on the stamina board until you are able to, slowly, recover them. So, the more actions you take on one turn the fewer things you will be able to do on future turns. It is through this Stamina Management that the game shines. Do you play all the cards you can this turn, or do you take a slower turn to position yourself for a better turn next time around?</p><p> </p><p>A fantastic game that I hope, maybe to play the campaign soon. The campaign sets up the other side of the video game with the crafting of equipment. Through the resources gathered in the story phase of the game and other components you get if you win the encounter you can craft better equipment and improve your chances of succeeding in the next fight!</p>								</div>

									<p>Scythe Campaign Diary <strong>[SPOILER FREE]</strong></p><p> </p><p>Our <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/242277/scythe-the-rise-of-fenris">Scythe: The Rise of Fenris</a> campaign continues. The past 2 games resulted in a win for Crimea (Haydn) and The Republic of Polania (Carl). With the Nordic Kingdoms (Mike) and Saxony (Mel), still gaining benefits along the way.</p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #3366ff;">The Rise of Fenris campaign works by the coins each player has at the end of each game get added to their bank. At the end of each chapter and beginning of the next, players may spend this money to purchase things.</span></p><p> </p><p><strong><u>Mel: </u></strong><u>“Campaign game 3 as the wolf and I’m starting the game with 2 iron. Game on!”</u></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #3366ff;">And so we begin. Chapter 3 was a very different game for me. I have been playing as the Republic of Polania, and this was the first game I didn’t get a mech on the home encounter. This resulted in a very, very, very slow start to my game. Locked on my island, needing to spend 5 extra turns to construct the first mech. Crimea wasn’t in the mood to wait that long.</span></p><p> </p><p><strong><em><u>Mel: </u></em></strong><em><u>“… and I have failed with my most miserable loss yet. Even though I got off to a flying start in the race to the factory, I handed the win over for a 3rd time, to Haydn for 2nd time, with 2 stars in the last turn for a 2nd time once again I did not see it coming.</u></em><em><u>”</u></em></p><p> </p><p>Crimea raced to the finish, but not until Nordic Kingdoms (Mike) had achieved the chapter objective, giving him a large advantage moving forward. With the story continuing we also unlocked the ability to include The Wind Gambit expansion in future games, AIRSHIPS! With Crimea speeding through the games, we will all need to rethink our strategies.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Mel:</strong> <em><u>“Mike gained an invaluable advantage for the remainder of the campaign (no spoilers). After stealing 2 of my tunnels, Haydn dropped my score to an embarrassingly low $19 A score so low that even Carl in 3rd place nearly doubled my score on $36. A truce has been called between Mike, Carl and myself. Game on Haydn. Game on.</u></em><em><u>”</u></em></p><p> </p><p>At the end of chapter 3, we were given an opportunity to change faction. I was the only one to take the option. Mel did consider changing for a moment, then decided to stick with Saxony. Not having access to iron, therefore the ability to build mechs, in a game where Crimea seems determined to end the game in 10 turns or less was making things very frustrating. So, Clan Albion, here we go!</p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #3366ff;">I have never played with The Invaders From Afar factions before so this should be new and exciting. Mike handed me the two-page rules for the new faction, a bag of tokens and we were off on our next chapter.</span></p><p> </p><p><strong>Mel:</strong> <em><u>“</u></em><em><u>Game 4 has begun and Haydn is off to a flying start already. Keep the remaining 3 of us in your thoughts”</u></em></p><p> </p><p>This chapter had an alternative End Game condition. This resulted in Crimea racing even more than normal. I think the game ended in about 6-7 turns. It was fast. So fast that Crimea didn’t even realise it was over when they took their last turn. Haydn is definitely the one to watch out for in the coming games. While we are not sure how to stop him, I hope we can at least slow him down!</p><p> </p><p><strong>Mel:</strong> <em><u>“Haydn!! ‘Nuff said”</u></em></p><p> </p><p>We are now halfway through, Mike keeps reminding us that the last game is what will determine the victor of the entire campaign. Our next set of games is scheduled for the second event in May, let’s see if Crimea can be stopped. </p>								</div>

									<p><a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/237182/root"><strong>Root</strong></a></p><p>Josh, Talita and I setup Root early while Penny maned the door welcoming our attendees. This time there was a debate over which map to play, the regular maps of the Lake and Winter Forest were ruled out, Talita said she played the original too many times to it was decided the map that we played the least was up, The Mountain. For those not familiar with Root, the maps is made up of paths, clearings and forests. The Mountain map has some of its paths covered in the beginning and you need to discard a card to clear them. For this reason, this is Penny&#8217;s least favoured map.</p><p><br />During setup Haydn arrived and joined the table, with that we knew the hijinks was going to be at maximum. We drafted our forest clans, resulting in a table of Corvid, Cats, Lizard Cult, Eyrie and a Thief Vagabond. With that we were off to conquer the forest. <br />We had a great time back and forth and it was a very close game all the way to the end. It was only in the final round were clever play and turn order determined the victor, three of us were poised for victory but Josh and his Thief managed to get over the line first and claim dominance over the forest.</p>								</div>

									<p>With a game of <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/418059/seti-search-for-extraterrestrial-intelligence">SETI</a> lined up for a 4pm start Mike, Josh and I decided to get out a game that doesn’t hit the table often enough. <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/262477/mercado-de-lisboa">Mercardo de Lisboa</a>. A Vital Lacerda game based on his classic Lisboa. Mercardo de Lisboa takes the mechanics of one part of the bigger game and streamlines it down to a 30min tile placement game. Every time we get this one out Mike and I both say, “we need to get this to the table more”.</p><p><br />In no time Josh had it down and was doing tile calculus while Mike and could only watch. Several turns in a row Josh managed to not only find the best location for him to open a new market stand but at the same time ruin what Mike or I had planned. This resulted in Josh destroying us on the score board, twice. Well done.</p><p><br />Mercardo de Lisboa will be at CBG on a regular basis now so if you are interested in a game come and see me. </p>								</div>

									<p><strong>Charioteer</strong><br />This event I was able to get <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/339289/charioteer">Charioteer</a> to the table. A fantastic game about racing your chariot in the arena in front of a fickle crowd and Caesar. Players simultaneously select cards to play that determine not only the speed you travel but also the action you take. Do you focus on taking the corner, skipping spaces as you do? Or do you attack your opponents, slowing them down? All the while trying to improve your skills in each of these action types, increasing the speed you can go while doing them. Do the right action, and you might even earn Caesars favour, gaining extra experience in that action.</p><p><br />Talita, Oakley and I raced our chariots, attacked each other and had a blast. We got a few rules wrong, that only sped up the game a little but had a great time. Charioteer will definitely be making it into the regular rotation of the games I bring along.</p>								</div>

What is now a regular for me. This was Josh’s first game and he managed to come away with the WIN. This was a fast game as we only had 2.5h including the teach for Josh so it was rapid fire. Everyone at the table did a great job of planning their turns in advance as much as possible. Talita was very happy to once again get the promo Pluto card, while it didn’t get played it is always nice to see it get drawn.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Meeple Escape</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.coastalboardgamers.org.au/me/#Current_ME">Meeple Escape Early Bird entry Tickets</a> close Saturday 28th of Feb, so get in fast to go into the draw to win a copy of The Resistance!</p>								</div>

									<p><a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/342070/thunder-road-vendetta">Thunder road: Vendetta</a> is a game of dice and mayhem! Using a dice pool, players race down a post-apocalyptic highway in 3 vehicles each. This is not only a race to the finish line but a race to survive. Between the hidden hazards, canyon walls and the other players finishing the race is unlikely. Dave, Zac and Alex showed me just that.</p><p> </p><p>When I first sat down to watch this chaotic battle it appeared Dave would win. He had all three vehicles still and was in the middle of the map. Zac was leading with one of his vehicles, which meant he was clearing more of the hidden hazards and the risks associated with the unknown, and Alex was down to only 1 vehicle, that was still on it’s wheels anyway.</p><p><br />Then the chaos ensued.</p><p> </p><p>Zac sped up on Dave, with one of his trailing cars. He then forced Dave into another lane. Then Zac proceeded to shoot at Dave, unfortunately for Zac, the bullets ricochet back taking out his own car in the process!<br />While this is happening Alex is madly trying to fix his heavy vehicle that was damaged in an earlier challenge for position.</p><p><br />Further down the road, Dave swerves in an attempt to run Zac off the road, he miss-judges and ends up careening into a cliff wall, ending his race in a dramatics display of poor driving.</p><p><br />As the race continues Helicopters were deployed to attempt to shoot at passing drivers, slowing them down or taking them out of the race. This was a unsuccessful tactic. In the end, with a few clever turns and some luck with the hidden obstacles, Alex was the victor.</p><p> </p><p>This was a very interesting light game, and just as fun to watch as I’m sure it is to play. Next time you get it to the table Dave, count me in!</p>								</div>

									<p>At this CBG event, Ettienne, Mike, and I finally got <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/347305/inventions-evolution-of-ideas">Inventions</a> to the table! A beautiful Vital Lacerda game about the growth of technology and how one invention leads to another. Players take turns presenting their ideas, inventing new concepts, or sharing inventions with the world. As this was a learning game, we spent plenty of time in the rulebook. Even though we didn’t have time to finish, it was great to finally get this one to the table.</p><p> </p><p>It was also the last time Mike and I will get to play a game with Ettienne for a while, as he is moving interstate. It felt very fitting to send him off with another big Lacerda game. We will miss you at the table, Étienne, and wish you all the best. Thank you for your contributions to CBG over the years and we hope to see you at a table again soon.</p>								</div>

									<p>After dinner, Mike and I decided we needed something lighter. Lacerda games are wonderful, but they can take it out of you! We settled on a print-and-play title Mike brought along called <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/85325/kolejka">Queue</a>. It’s an English translation of a Polish game called Kolejka. This is a fun, light, heated “take-that” game where players manipulate queues of shoppers attempting to buy different goods. This time, we were joined by Jared, so the odds of victory were stacked against us.</p><p> </p><p>Set in communist Poland, Queue explores the underhanded tactics of shoppers trying to get their purchases before each store runs out. Half of the rulebook is dedicated to the real-world stories and photos that inspired the game. Players take turns playing cards to reorder one of six queues, jockeying for position at the front of the line to claim limited items. Unlike many “take-that” games, Queue strikes a great balance between planning your strategy and interfering with others. At no point did anyone have that classic “bad feeling” moment as their hopes of a shiny new Men’s Tie vanished, usually their disappointment came with laughter when someone played a “Borrowed Baby” to jump the queue just before the store sold out and closed for the day.</p><p> </p><p>Queue was an absolute blast. Light, fast, and featuring a surprisingly rich decision space. With a limited number of action cards per round, we had to decide whether to take three turns early and risk being short on cards later, or pass sooner and gamble on someone disrupting the queues we needed most. Naturally Jarod won. It was such a refreshing game and a great way for us to end the night. I hope this one gets to the table often, if you have the chance give it a go.</p>								</div>
