Our 152nd event was another quiet event. However despite the quietness quite a few games made it to the table. Keeping those who attended entertained for hours.
El Dorado was the game to play tonight, with two tables hosting separate games. Players raced through the South American jungle to find the titular city of gold, building up the decks to make the journeys’ easier whilst avoiding the wrath of the slumbering dragons.
Thunder Road: Vendetta once again made its way to the table, with players completing against each other to race across the wasteland. Though considering the carnage going on during each race, the winner was often decided by last man standing rather than who managed to cross the finish line.
Another racing game played was Mille Bornes, where players raced to be the first to travel 1000 miles, while hindering other players with hazards such as speed limits, flat tires and the instructions being in French.
Moon Colony Bloodbath was another game that made it to the table tonight. Players construct their colonies on the moon, then try to whether disaster after disaster that kills off the colonists. Staggeringly a few of the colonists managed to endure air leaks, explosions and killer robots and come out relatively unscaved.
Spirit Island made an appearance, with River Surges in Sunlight, Shadows Flicker like Flames and Ocean’s Hungry Grasp trying to defend their island from colonizers seeking to blight the land. While things looked bleak for the spirits as the invaders built up a few large settlements and prepared to expand, a few well timed fear cards and some powerful deluges smashed the colonists’ towns and cities to rubble and sent the survivors running back home in fear of their lives.
Towards the end of the night, a game of Ito required players to secretly score various items on a scale of 1-100. Which ultimately started a heated discussion of whether McDonalds, KFC and Hungry Jacks were popular restaurants or not.
Don’t forget that our Trivia Night is on this Friday the 13th November, book your table before it’s too late! It’ll be a fun night you don’t want to miss out on!
