Zombie Dice, Tobago, Forbidden Island
A couple of friends came over to try out my new table, and I must say guys, I like it. It’s not very big, but it’s suitable for any game not published by Fantasy Flight (and I have my coffee table for that), and it’s pretty solid. It’s good to have a space to do things.
We started with a couple of rounds of Zombie Dice, which it is unnecessary to comment on. We then played Tobago, which I keep sitting on the fence about. It’s a neat game, with cool mechanics and components, but I never want to play it more than once every couple of months. Just something about it.
We also made the poor choice of rushing through a game of Forbidden Island with someone who didn’t quite grasp what was happening. The other players knew what was going on and what we were supposed to do, so we barreled through the rules, “You do this, and then this, and we win,” and it didn’t turn out so great. It was the toughest game I played of the game in a while, but I really need to work on a methodology for explaining games, because this is an area that I fall down at many, many times, and I should really be better at it already.
