What I Played Today: April 6

Skull and Roses, Infinity Dungeon, New Super Mario Brothers Wii-U

At a party in which we stated that we wouldn't be playing many games, we played some games. A game of Skull and Roses, which was just fine and usually okay, and then Infinity Dungeon, which I'm starting to not like that much. The game elements are clunky, and there are not enough cards to have enough variety to keep things interesting. I'm sick of the pirate, for example. I was in the role of permanent DM, because I was just not feeling it, and the session eventually fell apart due to circumstances not related to the game.

I also got to play some Wii U, which is cooler than I thought it would be! The little screen on the super pad is crisp, and the gameplay of adding blocks to the game to help out the players is pretty neat. I thought it felt like cheating when I first saw it, but there are a ton of areas that can't be reached without those blocks. Fun!

Tzolk'in: The Mayan Calendar, Infinity Dungeon

I got to play Tzolk'in again, which is good, because I like this game. The wheel! The wheel! Anyway, I decided that I was going to do mainly a buildings based game, and it worked...for a while. I spent a lot of time getting materials that I quickly used, while the other two players concentrated on getting crystal skulls and taking them into the jungle, which...it turns out...is a much better strategy! The guy who did this constantly won, while I spent the entire game being accused of being too smart and clearing winning. I didn't win, guy!

Also a round of Infinity Dungeon. That game sure is wacky. 

What I Played Today: February 8

Sneaks and Snitches, Infinity Dungeon, Minecraft

I played a game tonight that apparently had absolutely no effect on me, because I cannot even remember what the hell it was. Did I win? Did I lose? Did I flip over the table? Who knows! The experience has since been lost to the mists of time.

I do remember playing Sneaks and Snitches, which is a goofy little game in which each player chooses a location to steal from and a location to tell the cops about. If two people choose the same place, nobody gets the treasure. So, a lot of bluffing to get the treasure, trying to figure out what everyone wants. The scoring system is strange, as for some items, only the person who has the most gets the points, while for others only the person who has the least doesn't get points. It's weird. Anyway, I didn't win.

Then another from the Minigame Library: Infinity Dungeon, a goofy storytelling game where a bunch of elements are thrown together and the current active player has to come up with a story of how the party escapes the current room. We had a party of a Power Ranger, a tycoon, a pirate, a butler, and an evil overlord. It was goofy. The only problem is that it is really easy to pass a room, which means nobody dies comically enough. But it is good for laughs.

And it turns out that my friends have a Minecraft server. I've never played on a Minecraft server, so I logged in and started screwing around. Then I continued to screw around and built a huge tower on top of a hill until 6 in the morning. It was not the greatest idea.
