What I Played Today: May 10

Dominion, Rock Band, Persona

Played a small bit of Persona on the train, mainly with the act of wandering around the school and collecting gear, and talking to dudes. The school is pretty huge for being an area that I’ll only visit for resupply, but I guess it’s not uncommon. There are also a lot of characters being flung around, including a character that cannot reasonably be who she says she is, and yet we just let her tag along with us.

I also got to play some more Dominion: Alchemy, and managed to finally win a game. The first game was miserable for me, I got cursed to hell and couldn’t get the cards I needed at all. I think that I didn’t play aggressively enough, didn’t take the attacks that were ripping me to shreds with every turn. Although, there was an awesome strategy that got put into place that looked like it could kill if applied soon enough. A fair number of potions, and 3 alchemists. Each turn, you play the 3 alchemists, which gives you six extra cards, and if your potions are appropriately placed then you can put those alchemists back on top, to get six extra cards next turn. It worked well, but it eventually slowed down.

The second game I also got cursed a lot by the familiar, but the philosopher’s stone, which I grabbed early, and a few lucky possessions gave me quite a few extra points. The curses worked wonderfully in getting my philosopher’s stone up to monstromental proportions early, and there was a great combo I found. I used a possession to play my opponent’s deck for a turn. In his hand was a 6-point card and the apprentice, which lets you trash a card for a number of new cards based on its value. I shredded the opponent’s 6-point card to get 6 more cards, which was enough to rev up to a province. It was great.

I also played some Rock Band. Hint for the future: you need to be connected to Xbox Live to play songs you’ve downloaded. The more you know.
