boardgames

We had a busy week but managed to meet up with some friends this weekend and played some Everdell with 4 players - it was a good game and a tight race with the top 3 players all differing only by 1 point each. I think its a solid game which is a more complex gateway game into the world of boardgames. Its almost more complicated to explain vs playing

We also played Secret Valley which is a neat little card drafting and laying game. Each card has certain victory conditions to score points and during drafting you select on card and pass on the rest to the player next to you until you just get the final card left over from your neighbor. Each player will have 5 cards with differing victory conditions. You the start laying down the cards in a 4x4 grid layer, one card per player at a time. The cards usually score points based on what kind of cards are around them and you will try to maximize your own score while diminishing your opponents. Its a fun little game that can be played in 20min

We also played Ark Nova in a two player session, still the best game :)
