I feel like my weeks are either really good or really bad as far as playing games go. This past week happened to be a good one with a lot of plays.

#Tigris & Euphrates - still playing with the same crew from BGA. Finished up 2 games, the 2nd of which I won and had my highest score. I wouldn't quite say that means I figured things out, but I'm on the right track I guess? lol

#Wingspan - played this a couple of times last week; once with just Sarah and myself and again last night with my cousins. Sarah crushed me the first game and the second my cousins really picked up on how things worked faster than they have before and beat the both of us. They've played with us a bunch but with big gaps between plays and it's just a tad heavier than games they normally play. Really happy to get to share this game with people who seem to enjoy it.

#Regicide - I played this solo on BGA while waiting for my turns in other games (more on that in next week's post I suppose). I played till I actually won which is to say I played a whopping 8 games of it lol. The good thing is it goes super quick. The bad part is now that I've won, I don't know how much more I want to keep playing.

#Yura Yura Penguin Mini - went to my Meetup group's 3rd anniversary party on Saturday with Sarah, my brother, and a couple friends of ours. Got in a 5 player game of this to start the day and very incorrectly called the person who knocked down the iceberg the winner which I was positive I read in the rules was allowed to happen. Didn't think about how much it didn't make sense until just now, so I'll have to think back on who would have actually won...

#Fantasy Realms - one of Sarah's favorite games and it's up there for me too. I hear there's a deluxe edition coming out soon so I'll have to pick that up.

#Fearsome Floors - it was at this point during the day that Sarah bailed on us to go play #The Castles of Burgundy with some other people who were setting it up. I broke out one of the few games I brought with me that I didn't think she'd want to play. Played at 4 which was vastly different from the only other game of it I played at 2. Still feels very tactical and we only just started to realize it was a good strategy to force the monster in certain directions to kill other players towards the very end of the play. I won but I feel like it was only because I went last..now I'm again wondering if the rules say to rotate the first player marker.....<checks rules>...whoops...

#Cat in the Box: Deluxe Edition - the other game I brought that I didn't think Sarah would want to play was #Snakesss, but with only 4 players that didn't seem like a good choice. Instead I perused the games other people brought to the party and found this which has been on my wishlist ever since I heard about it. It did not disappoint. It took a little bit to get some of us to wrap our heads around what was happening, but we all seemed to really like it. I moved it up my wishlist accordingly lol.

#Team Play - for whatever reason, my brother was really itching to play this. I guess it's a good thing since he actually wanted to play a game of mine. It's been awhile since I'd last played but this game doesn't disappoint.

#Diamant - aka Incan Gold. As I mentioned, my cousins were over last night so of course I made them play a bunch of games. This seemed to be a pretty big hit as it usually seems to be with most groups. I do feel that there could have been more table talk and shenanigans happening but it was fun for what it was.

#Sequoia - first time playing this at more than 2 and it was just as quick as advertised. Had a lot of fun with this one.

#Deep Sea Adventure - of course had to play a new to me game from my shelf of shame/opportunity while I had the chance. Doing well in this seems pretty impossible, but we were also playing pretty greedy. I made it out once with 2 artifacts both worth a solid 0 points so that was fun haha.
