A Bad Experience with Colonies, A Pleasant Experience in Birmingham, and Building a Tiny Town – Tabletop Gaming Weekly

I finally got to try Terraforming Mars Colonies and my first experience was terrible.

I gave this expansion a second chance and ended up playing Colonies twice this past week. Once with Deanna and a second time at The CG Realm on Saturday. It was at the CG realm that I also played Tiny Towns and finally got my copy of Brass Birmingham off my pile of shame and to the table. So you all can stop bugging me for not playing it yet.

My wife and I finally had a weekend free and were able to hit up the local FLGS game night on Saturday.

We started off with Azul, then played a two player game of Terra Mystica, and finished off the night with a four-player game of Terraforming Mars. It was nice to get out of the house and get some gaming in again. This was our first time back at The CG Realm since Extra Life. [ READ MORE ]
