The Re-Review: Playing Catch-up

Five Tribes

This was probably my strangest play of Five Tribes yet, Shannon and I ended up tying 217 to 217 and there are no tiebreakers in Five Tribes so we shared our communal victory.

I find it fascinating that two people can take very different strategies in a game like this and that they’re both viable. Shannon went the route of getting djinn and I went heavy with the goods and somehow we ended up with the exact same score. If either of us had managed the same results with one less coin paid for turn order, we would have won.

The Re-Review: Aliens, Trading, The Love Hut, and more

The general idea behind these posts is to constantly re-review my games and talk about the things I like and dislike in individual games and maybe particular plays. One thing I’d like to accommodate for is that I play Netrunner weekly and there’s going to be a good number of folks who don’t care for it, so I’d like to break that out separately. I’d like to list the game and the number of plays for each game and the player counts along with a picture or two and explain whether I’ve played the game before or not.
