An interesting thread in the Hegemonic forums prompted me to spill the beans that my current secret project is an expansion for Hegemonic.
Oliver: As a matter of fact, I have been kicking this ball around a little more. Then there's the obligatory evening sessions of Emu Ranchers.Īlter Ego: I've heard that you've designed boardgames. Everyone loves a good Kraken.īeyond the above, I've managed a few games of Carcassonne: Hunters and Gatherers, which is truthfully one of my favorite games. She has a soft spot in her heart for Mecha-Dragon, and I of course "have" to chose The Kraken every. We actually manage to play the mostly correct and to it's conclusion (although usually we only play to 10 victory points because of a thing called bedtime). I've also been playing a fair amount of King of Tokyo with my now 4-year hold.
So it's an interesting balance between order and chaos, and I like the unspoken tacit agreements between players about how chaotic or not you are willing to let a particular session go. "Playing it safe" is often the more risky move because you can work yourself into a corner that requires specific die rolls to get you out. Taking risks, which usually means leaving a single (capture-able) piece in its own stack, also affords greater flexibility as the more spread out your pieces are the more potential ways you have to use your die results. While no doubt it can be thinky and cut-throat, and brutal, it's also quite relaxing to chuck the dice and move your pieces about the board.īackgammon a great risk management game, that works in a sort of paradoxically backward feeling way. Backgammon is one of those great pastime games. My wife and I have been playing an awful lot of Backgammon over a pint throughout these past few months. That said, it hasn't been all devoid of activity in this arena. My boardgaming has, as previously mentioned, taken a bit of a backseat this past year - a situation I hope to remedy soon. But you all have questions: What about the blog?! What about the games?! What are are you doing there behind the curtain? Watch in awe as I interview myself:Īlter Ego: This IS still a blog that talks about boardgames right?
