Terra Mystica rematch, and playing new games
I was lucky enough to do some back-to-back gaming sessions this weekend. I was starting to get some gaming withdrawal as I hadn’t been able to attend my weekday game group because of work. And missing gaming totally makes me a cranky Meeple Lady.
Last Friday night after work, a group of us met up to play Terra Mystica. We had recently played a few weeks ago and we all wanted a rematch. As much as I love playing Terra Mystica, it isn’t one of those games I play frequently, namely because so few people want to spend time playing such a heavy game and it has a steep learning curve that makes it hard for people to jump into.
It takes a few plays to understand the mechanics of the game, and then throw in the fact that you can choose one of fourteen different “peoples” with their own special abilities and drawbacks, well, it’s a complex game.
