Had a really great day today playing #boardgames with some local friends that I made via Fedi. Good people, good times, and some really great games at one of the best gaming venues in town, the Emerald Tavern!
We played games like #Anomia, #VillagePillage, Coup (not putting this in a hashtag intentionally cuz, you know, US politics), and #CursesAndCovens.
Curses & Covens was really fun to play and we had to learn as we went because nobody had played it before and one of the folks bought it because it "looked interesting". It's an all-vs-one game for 4-6 players where one witch hunter is attempting to capture 5 witches from the rest of the townsfolk who are trying to help the witches create covens. The twist is that a lot of the cards are shown face-up while the "townies" strategize in full view and earshot of the witch hunter. Cards are dealt after the strategy, and no more strategizing is allowed, so sometimes those stratagems can either work out as planned or blow up in the faces of the townies. It's a fairly quick game once everybody groks the rules, and we played maybe 6 or 7 games of it all told.
Anyway, it was a good night of IRL connection and playing some rad new games.
But next time, I swear I'm gonna introduce these people to Scythe and make some converts, or I'm not comin'!
