What #BoardGames do you really like, but you just can't win at? Whether it be solo or multiplayer?

Mine is Wayfarers of the South Tigris. I've played it 12 times against the solo AI deck, and I have NEVER won a single time. I've tried all the decks too, and I suck against every single one.

Tonight, I thought I was doing so well. It was finally going to be my time! I had so many space cards and inspiration cards... lost by 10 points.

We just played our first game of The Vale of Eternity, and we enjoyed it a lot! Can't wait to get this one back to the table.

A gentle to learn tableau builder, all about taming mythical creatures and summoning them in a race to get the most points 🐉 🐦🔥

Finally got #Viticulture (with the Tuscany exp.) to the table this last weekend for a 5 player game! I’d picked up the game from one player 2 years ago, but it was the first time he’d played with Tuscany. The victor took an early 32 point win, but it was a good time nonetheless.

Also played #ModernArt, an auction game where you artificially inflate the value of your auctioned art for big profit! Or at least that was my takeaway. Either way, ‘twas a fun one!

Next up we played Bellum Stellas by the youngest Protospieler of the weekend, Silas Hamilton, played with Kevin Levy and Mark Hamilton. While an old-style grognard #wargame was not really my thing these days, this ambitious game harkened back to that. A remarkably mature design for such a young guy, and Silas absorbed our advice like a sponge. It was great seeing his design evolve over the weekend.

Praga Caput Regni (2020)
2P; 90 min; 93:99 🙃
Das Spiel habe ich noch nicht 1x im 2P gegen Frau gewonnen. Heute sah es gut aus bis zum vorletzten Zug, indem sie sich 2x Extraaktionen erspielte. Das brach meiner Gewinnabsicht das Genick.
Ansonsten ein tolles, aber verzwicktes Spiel. Man muss von allem etwas haben, weil alles mehrfach miteinander verwoben ist auf eindrucksvoll gut ausbalanzierte Weise. 😍 Nur 4P stell ich mit zu lang vor. 2P funktioniert toll.
