‪Played Octo Dice from @alderacentertainment. What an AWESOME roll and write from the designer of Castles of Burgundy: the dice game! It’s got so many paths to victory. LOVE the score sheets! Will definitely need to get a laminator for all these fun games. I‘ll run outta sheets otherwise😂‬ . . . . . #octodice #aeg #boardgames #analoggames #bgg #boardgamegeek #juegosdemesa #tabletopgames #jeudesociete #brettspiel #aquasphere #rollandwrite #boardgame #boardgamer #gamenight #gaymer #gaygamer #geekygaymerguy #ボードゲーム #j2s #boardgame

Water month is continuing along nicely.

Let me speak briefly about Beacon Patrol, because it wasn't new to us. We did play with the Ships and Shores expansion which adds several unique boats with special powers and scoring conditions. We don't own Carcassonne anymore (though we do have Mists Over Carcassonne) but this scratches a very similar tile placing itch, just cooperatively. The goal is to enclose lighthouses, buoys, and whatever your specific special tiles are (if you play with the expansion.) You can only place adjacent to your boat and you have limited movement points to reposition yourself with. It's fun. We're bad at it.

Aquasphere is a Feld game from 2014, that we've had but hadn't played. Water month offered the perfect opportunity to get it to the table. It's an interesting Feld designs, with several interlocking actions that support but also confine each other. It's a programming game of sorts, where you have two the three options for actions to program your bots to perform. Without research cards, you get a maximum of four programmable actions a round and that's only if you have the time to spend on that fourth. There are certain actions that earn you points during the round and some things that only score between rounds. That brings us to an interesting mechanism, the red lines on the score track that you have to spend crystals to move past. If you don't have a crystal, you're throwing away any points beyond that line. But crystals are hard to come by. Only through programming a bot (or having a particular research card) can you get them. Similarly, you only score bots up to your furthest deployed sub, but you have to program a bot and have the required time to deploy a sub. You need to plan your actions and your rounds thoughtfully to ensure you don't leave points on the table. It's a clever puzzle that we really started getting into after the first round.

Board game day with N and K today! \o/

We opened with two games of AquaSphere, which is a lovely game about running around an underwater lap and programming bots to do tasks, like sweeping away the octopods, building your personal lab, unlocking technologies, etc. It's got a nice action economy where moving around the board costs time, but actions themselves are only limited by how many bots you can program. I won both games, purely on the back of getting all six letters in my personal lab, both games.

Then we pulled out Flash Point, and played a game and three quarters on the subway map from Honor and Duty. Game one went spectacularly wrong, with a victim dying in fire on the very first fire roll, and things only going downhill from there. We had the CAFS fire fighter, the rescue dog, and the fire prevention specialist. The rescue dog not being able to put out fires might have doomed us in that game, as the subway station was just engulfed with fire until it collapsed. Game two went much better, with us keeping the fire under control, and everyone just doing exactly what needed doing. We almost certainly would have won, except K and I were signed up for the Wingspan tournament.

The Wingspan tournament was a little less attended than the store had hoped, but they're still building a player base for their board game tourneys. We ended up with all of three people, with two people expressing interest earlier in the day, but not being able to stay. It had a $10 USD entry fee, with K and J each winning a $10 gift card, and I won a $20 gift card for first place in the single game of the tournament.

It was kind of wild to be playing just the base game again, after so many games with all the expansions in the digital. I played a pretty standard game, with a few misplays, and won 85-80-73. K had to head off after that, but J and I stuck around and jammed three more games, just for funsies. One of those games I just went ham on bonus cards, ending up with six in hand at the end, all worth points, with a bird in hand that draws bonus cards that I just wasn't able to squeeze in actually playing. I think that was the game where I cracked 100 points. The final game, I ended with 37 eggs in play, mostly using birds that give extra plays when they're played to get a board full of nest slots. It was fun, and it was nice meeting J. :)
