Game Report from Hobbo

 

To no one’s surprise, Thunder Road Vendetta makes another appearance here at CBG game night.

 

Our first race, which consists of new comer Ben and returning racers Maurice, Zac and Hobbo there were many spills, thrills and bad rolls allowing Maurice to win the race.

 

Race 2 had John taking over for Zac and new comer David D taking over for Ben. Unfortunately Dave didnt survive pass the second map and Hobbo was finished off by John, by the end it was a two horse race, with John taking the win.

 

Race 3 had Chris take over for John and Dave staying for round 2. After many smashes, crashes, failed jumps and Dave being taken out so close to the finishing line, Chris ended up taking the win.

Earthquake right at the start!
Jumping the flames
Quake moves all cars forward
Blue crosses the finish line FTW

Narelle played a teaching game of Galactic Cruise with Jim, Mel, and Tim.  The depth of theme baked into this game is incredible.  Using all the different action areas, cards, tiles and resources feels like building and launching a cruise in space.  Once the ship is prepared and resourced the Cruise Coordinator uses Ads to attract guests who buy tickets for the flight.  Once launched the guests visit the rooms and buy from onboard shops while cruising the stars, producing various types of income.  When guests land on planets, we can film Ads of their experience to gain coveted victory points.

 

This is a long game but the thematic experience is lots of fun.  Thanks, Narelle, for teaching us and congratulations Mel for winning your first game.

The next CBG Regular Event will be on 20/06/2026 at Apex House.  Come and join in the fun afternoon and evening with us.
