We Didn't Playtest This At All, D-Day Dice, Grimoire Shuffle, Kingsburg, The Resistance
Game night was super packed with Magic players tonight. We had to convince someone to set out a table for us. To start, a couple of dumb games of We Didn't Playtest This At All, which has an unnecessarily long name for such a dumb game. Then after a group went off to play Core Worlds, I showed off the games I brought, D-Day Dice, which was...okay, and Grimoire Shuffle, a game currently in playtest that I made a print-and-play of. It's a neat racing game where people work in teams to get through a maze. The team leader chooses a "book" of moving options for their partner, while the other team chooses a book for the leader. It's an interesting dynamic, and it was a hit at the table.
I played Kingsburg, which I hadn't before, because there were dice involved and I hate dice. But it's actually pretty fun, especially since I invested in the buildings that let me change the dice as much as possible. I ended up able to roll an extra dice for the rest of the game, which helped me win because I could take the queen space often. It was almost unfair.
Also a couple of games of The Resistance, one that I lost as the spy because everything just went the wrong way, and the second game I flubbed by putting in the wrong card in the mission, and we had to just stop the game and everyone went home. I felt like a jerk for breaking it, but everyone assured me they weren't mad. I hope.
