Friday link love

By Meeple Lady | April 10, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment

Are you guys all excited for International Table Top Day tomorrow? Woohoo!! There are so many events in the Phoenix area; I’m splitting my time between two events and wish I could do even more. So many games, so little time!

Anyway, it’s that time of the week — Friday link love. Enjoy!

— The Board Game Family asks if Splendor is a splendid family game? Here’s my review on the game.

— Daniel Solis has designed some neato commemorative coins for Tabletop Day.

— GeekDad settles a legal matter and a new day dawns.

— Chris at The Draw Deck talks about which games can fill in that small window of time when there’s a new baby.

— Even Buzzfeed is getting into the spirit of Tabletop Day: 19 board games adults will actually want to play.

Have a good weekend, everyone!

NEW POST: Last week, I traveled to Washington, D.C., to attend Circle DC, a convention held on April 5-7 and hosted by @fortcirclegames. Circle DC is a great convention for historical game designers; I actually played more prototypes than published games!

The most stressful Oink game! 😂 Rafter Five is a fun dexterity game where players are placing strips of "lumber" onto a raft so that one of the rafters and one of your treasure chests can sit on it. It's a tough balancing act because eventually you'll have to pick up a rafter, who may be the only thing holding the pieces of lumber together. This game was a hit at dinner with friends last night!

Attended a ladies' gaming event today and met some lovely people! I taught Bonsai and Cat Lady, and we also played Project L. I think everyone had a good time! How did you spend your Saturday?

Hung out with friends last night, and the weather was so nice that we were chilling and playing in the backyard. We played Chicken!, 6 Nimmnt and my friend's prototype (the tealights were just for light and aren't part of the game). Good times, and I love the weather in AZ right now.

I got a chance to play Barcelona recently. What a fun city-building puzzle! Players are constructing buildings, creating tram lines, and dropping off passengers while expanding the new modern city. On your turn, you draw two citizens from a cloth bag, and you place them on the board. The intersection of where you place those citizens determines which two to three actions you'll be doing on your turn. The game is played over a variable number of rounds based on the citizens who get removed from the board and placed on a track after constructing a building. Would definitely play this again!
