I went bust early, accrued some cash only to get by taxes, then got myself into a position to buy a mission only to go bust again and watch Joe buy it. Frustrating. I enjoyed Abluxxen more... but it shows to go ya, you can't judge a GNN night on the games alone. A lot of fun, thanks guys.GNN Reportshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17982778341361220607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317166417552799764.post-78249143513805545382014-04-30T07:49:06.571+01:002014-04-30T07:49:06.571+01:00Odd "nice to see you, to see you nice" t...Odd "nice to see you, to see you nice" top and tailing in the above comment, heh...Joe Bergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01710555098761136919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317166417552799764.post-8804811092924302902014-04-30T06:57:54.997+01:002014-04-30T06:57:54.997+01:00Great night, thanks all! I loved Port Royal - nice...Great night, thanks all! I loved Port Royal - nice and snappy, and very engaging. Instantly clicked for me.<br /><br />Abluxxen less so, but that may just be me. You know how sometimes you play a new game and can't quite see how things fit together (even when it's dead simple and patently obvious to all the other players)? I think I may have had that reaction to 6 Nimmt on a first play too though, so I'd happily play it again.<br /><br />Igloo Pop is very silly and fairly unique - played it a couple of times with the family after getting it in a maths trade a few years ago, after which it took up residency on a quiet shelf. Charlotte suggested it recently for Martha's party, and while teaching it to six 10 year olds I realised how much fun it would be with a bunch of 30 - 40 somethings.<br /><br />And Skull and Roses is a stone-cold classic; the simplest possible distillation of bluffing. For me it's totally replaced Perudo - which hits the same spot a lot more noisily. Although even as I write this I'm thinking Perudo has merits of its own.<br /><br />Thanks for coming along all, great night..!Joe Bergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01710555098761136919noreply@blogger.com
