What I Played Today: April 27

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Cards Against Humanity, Ascension, Spaceteam, Artemis, Trivial Pursuit

Hanging out with some old as chums today, got to play some cool games. Played a few moments of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, which was a weird game to pull out, but hey, I still like it. Apparently it's easier now, I should finish that game...

Then a very long game of Cards Against Humanity! We laughed at awful things! There was a terrible Trayvon Martin reference! There was a quick game of Spaceteam in there while someone went to the bathroom! I like Spaceteam!

Then a few of us played Artemis, which turns out is surprisingly fun once you figure out what the fuck you are doing. There was probably a full hour of trying to get it set up and trying to figure out what on earth we were doing, but we eventually managed to fly through space without too much trouble. I got to play the captain as well as Communications, which is nice, so I got to tell people "Hey, go over there and shoot that spaceship." Pretty fun. We completed one mission successfully, then tried another and ended up dying when the program crashed. The program is very crashy on the iOS versions, but now that I know how to play, I want to do it again.

Then played a new Ascension, which is pretty neat! It has a new resource to gain, which allows you to get benefits if you have enough of it on a given turn, and the majority of the time, it doesn't choke up your deck. The way you get the treasure needed to gain the new resource is a bit slapdash, but it really makes the game a bit more interesting.

And then an endless game of Trivial Pursuit, using the original Genus set. Guess what doesn't exist anymore! That's right, Western Germany.
