Things went much better in our second attempt of scenario #20 in Gloomhaven.

There was also a surprise twist at the end. [ READ MORE ]

Gloomhaven FAQ/Errata run through and commentary.

March 8, 2019 by Moe T. Leave a Comment

Last week, instead of our usual Gloomhaven actual play we tackled the Gloomhaven errata and FAQ.

Unfortunately last Friday we were not one, not two, but three players short. Since I didn't want to play another person's character, or start an entirely new party on short notice, none of us actually played Gloomhaven last week.

Instead Sean and I took at look at the extensive Gloomhaven FAQ over on Board Game Geek. [ READ MORE ]

The big thing for me last week was getting three expansions off my pile of shame as part of the #LessShameMoreGame challenge.

I finally got to play Tzolk'in with Tribes & Prophecies and played Villages of Valeria with the Monuments and Guild Halls expansion packs.

Along with those shameful expansions, I also got in games of Azul Stained Glass of Sintra, a medium length game of Dinosaur Island, a two player game of War Chest at my favourite coffee shop and some Race for the Galaxy on Board Game Arena. Oh, and there was a three player random dungeon in Gloomhaven. [ READ MORE ]

So far February has been turning out to be a great month for gaming. I've already gotten in over forty games this month!

This past week there was the usual Friday Gloomhaven game, followed by some Azul: Stained Glass of Sinatra. Saturday I spent the afternoon playing games with my kids. These included Riddle Moo This, Professor Noggin's Creatures of Myth & Legend, Battle Sheep and Qwirkle Cubes. Then on Saturday I had a group of friends over and we tried out all of the expansions for Xia: Legends of a Drift System, which recently showed up from their latest Kickstarter. [ READ MORE ]
