This post should have come sooner but at last, it's here. This is where I go over what I got for Christmas etc. As you can see below I got some new board games and expansions so I will also be updating my favorite board game list.
The Castles of Burgundy I enjoyed a lot more than I thought. I got this game because it had a Black Friday sale so my mom asked if I knew about it/wanted it. It's rated number eight on boardgamegeek so I definitely had heard about it. But I wasn't sure if I wanted it. I looked into it and decided to get it. Glad I did.
Aw, yes. The expansion to Five Tribes. The expansion that Andrew didn't know about and somehow still said, "What if there was an expansion for Five Tribes that added a sixth tribe and its color was purple?" Well, that's exactly what this is. I've only played with it once but I enjoyed it the time I played with it.
I have yet to play this yet since I rarely get together with a big enough group of friends. But I know from past experience that this is a good game.
Village Port is an expansion for Village that replaces the traveling spot. Instead of traveling on the land you travel on the seas. It is more complicated than regular traveling but that's expected from an expansion. I've only played this once but I enjoyed it a lot. I actually feel like going traveling instead of ignoring that corner of the board. And that's not just because it was new it was actually a good way to get victory points.
My brother, Andrew, also got me all but one of the Dominion promos (the other was out of stock). I've played with them a few times and even got a Scavenger-Stash combo going.
Oh, almost forgot. I also got a new Kindle for Christmas. This one is good enough to play Hearthstone on! It also has a camera which is what these photos were taken with.
Oh, and happy New Year I guess.7
Artisans rock my socks. But, wait... actually, I don't recall ever playing with the expansion, so I'm not sure how I'd know that. I did definitely read the rules, so that could be it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, what's the deal with the 7 at the end of this post? I like it; it makes sense with the blog's name, so it's like some sort of signature. If you don't already, I think it'd be super cool to have that at the end of all of your posts.
