Most of my blogging recently (when I actually do it anymore) has been very dark or somber. I had a great weekend with some friends and was able to share a greatly anticipated experience around my game table Saturday night, and I thought it was worth posting something fun.
If you're close to me, you know that I have been talking about this game for months. I'm not even going to try to be a game reviewer or cover anything in depth. I just want to share how playing the game made me feel. This game is something totally new to the gaming world. My jerkface buddy Caleb won the first game by convincing me to help weaken the guy that was in the lead followed by Caleb going in for the kill. I never saw it coming. In this game, when you win it has rewards that go beyond just that game. You get to make powerful decisions that reshape the board forever. Even the losers get to affect the board in smaller ways. It is so fun to play a board game that evolves. For me, it's all about discovery, and beyond that, sharing that discovery with my brothers.
So for my guys that let me share this with you, thank you. It lifted my spirits. For my brothers that couldn't make it this time, maybe in a couple weeks.
