Ora et Labora, BattleCON
I woke up at God Knows Why and went to play board games! First was a two-player of Ora et Labora, which went pretty fast, considering. After a while, I realized I should focus on getting victory point goods, converting all the resources I was able to pull in into books and stuff. My opponent went for an aggressive settlement route, getting the castle and surrounding hugely important building with encampments. He made a mistake when he closed off his monastery, meaning there were four buildings remaining that only I could build, so I controlled the pace of the end game, and kept building up items until I easily swept him. But it was fun.
Then a few rounds of BattleCON, two of which I lost horribly, and a third where I managed to squeak out a slow victory. It’s weird, because while I totally understand all the different aspects of the game, I just kinda blow chunks during play. I just suck at mindgames, I suppose.
