Haha I came to post this after doing this at work on a VM.

Our usual players were moving house this week, so they were pretty occupied! I was worried this meant that no games at all this week, but some other friends came round for Bonfire Night, and they brought Cascadia.
I haven't played before, but I have heard of parallels to Calico, and I can see why! I think Cascadia has another layer of gameplay to it that made it a more enjoyable experience for me. Whilst the interactivity was very low (hate drafting being the only way to do anything), it was interesting watching the other players shoot for different objective sets.
Fun time, but took us longer than it should because we kept getting distracted!
I love how broken all the civilisations are in CE!
And absolutely love Radlands! A very tightly designed game without much overhead!
A smaller, more focused group this week! This meant Gloomhaven: JOTL again! My partner and I got engaged earlier in the week, so we chatted too much to finish it in one session - so our friends came back on Saturday to finish it off!
It didn't actually take us too long to finish the encounter, so we played a game of Mondo. This is a ridiculous real-time tile laying game in which you're trying to 'close out' biomes on your board. Always good fun and super accessible!
I had a brief panic that I had booked a hotel for the wrong weekend, but I've just checked and I'm okay!
This'll be my first UKGE! Very excited!
Simple games for us this week!
We played Nacho Stack, a small little dexterity game. We manage to stack some of these in some pretty clever ways that made the second phase of remove the cards hilariously difficult. Silly, simple fun!
And then we played a few rounds of Skull to see the evening out!
It was a week of lighter games for us this week.
We started with 2 plays of Tsuro with 6 players, each of which resulted in 3 players winning! We were surprised how avoidant of conflict most of us were in this.
Secondly, we then played a game of Roll for It! to see the night out. I've never played this, but really felt like it needed some rerolls as in Yahtzee or Poker Dice. I spent far too many rounds rolling 1 die waiting for my number to come up only to have to wait for 5 other players to do their thing!
All a learning experience for the next time!
The coins are a worthwhile investment early on, but we managed to get some good objectives that means plenty of points all around!
Ooo I didn't know this! One of the few times I wasn't being a rules goblin, so I gave myself over fully to the owner! We only had one Goblin card come up anyway, so nothing too drastic.
Thank you!

We got Love Letter: Jabba's Palace to the table! We didn't actually play though as we were busy talking, oops!
