Dusting off the British in Up Front. Most of the personalities in Up Front and (A)SL are named after playtesters or designers, so it’s kind of hilarious to see the British squad so chock full of now well-know designers and gamers with slightly unusual names (here, Moon, Tresham, and Vasey). One of the interesting (unsettling?) things about revisiting this games is the way that there really isn’t any way to avoid the intimacy of the violence; when your team gets caught in a stream and gunned down by machine gun fire, it’s hard to look away and not recognize what’s going on here - men are getting caught and having their lives violently ended in a way that’s ultimately capricious. Up Front! battles are significantly bloodier than real combat was at this scale I think and squads will stoically persevere and continue to be aggressive well past the point where most small units would call it a day. But it does seem to me to convey how most WWII casualties occurred: units getting caught between positions, or ambushed by an enemy that they weren’t aware of didn’t think could hit them, or hung out in the open by confusing terrain, and usually by automatic weapons. Like many of the best wargames from Avalon Hill in this incredible decade or so of their history (~1980-1995), one can quibble with details, but the way it manages to evoke the overall feel and sense of the period and topic is pretty impressive. As I mentioned, after probably a two-decade lay-off, it’s been really good to get this to the table again. Looking forward to moving on to some of the later scenarios. I know a lot of people just play Meeting of Patrols, City Fight, and Jungle Meeting Engagement, but there are a lot of good scenarios in the mix I feel. #boardgamegeek #bgg #avalonhillgames #upfrontgame https://www.instagram.com/p/B9JJjIahmAm/?igshid=1umpz6cioewt2

Betrayal at House on the Hill,  balanced or unbalanced?  We brought it back to the table and agreed that its unpredictability makes it a favorite at Nerdz Garage. The game designer's built smooth, swift, yet unpredictable gameplay. Once the Haunt is triggered and there is a shift from co-op to semi co-op midway through the game, is intriguing and feels like you have started a whole new game. There are 50 different Haunts in the game and with the random player choices, it would be rare ( if possible) to play the same game twice. The scenarios we have played were compelling. The luck of the draw has changed favor each time we played, whether we turned good or evil. We found it to be a simplified version of Dungeons and Dragons in a spooky house with a twist. We think it's balanced and an epic adventure where one of us gets to be a traitor! . . betrayalathouseonthehill #avalonhillgames #nerdzgarage #tabletopgames #boardgamegeek #boardgamesofinstagram #bggcommunity #boardgames #nerdzboardgaming #bgg #analoggames #dungeonsanddragons #D&D #roleplaying #rpg (at Nerdz Garage) https://www.instagram.com/nerdzgarage/p/ByujMHaBP5o/?igshid=1lxjtos7pzttz
