Adventure #9 – Under Construction

Habari! (Hello in Swahili)

Welcome back for another discussion. You should notice some things are different around here. As with reality, we need to organize and reorganize our lives to better meet the needs of others. So, I took on the task of restructuring my home here to allow better communication with my viewers, creating secondary pages to sort out my postings, and moving the various postings to their respective spot. Hopefully, I won’t have to deal with the hodag for a while (Please let the hodag finally hibernate. Life would be so much easier.) Thank you guys for your patience. In the meantime, while discussing my reconstruction, I realize something important to ask you guys. 

What do you guys do when you play a game and realize you have been playing it wrong? Usually, I try to make amends to other players to may have been at a disadvantage as a result of this issue. But, in the end, I feel the game should start over from scratch. What do you guys think?

Don’t forget to check out my treasures I discovered on my latest journey:

• I am finding news stories based on the them of, “What’s old is new again.” The first item is an ancient board game becoming more popular in Irag that dates back 5000 years ago! It is called “The Royal Game of Ur(I think)” and it looks interesting. Shout out if you hear more about this game or know where I can watch it played.
• I discovered a new board game company that buys the rights to old board games and make them better! I discovered Restoration Games and they are Kickstarting a game called Fireball Island: Curse of Vul-Kar and it looks appealing for families with young children. Go check it out and let me know what you think!
• I recommended videos of game reviews in the past, but here is a video of board games with role playing added to each one. It is pretty funny to watch and stars some famous people. It is called Wil Wheaton’s TableTop and you can watch it on YouTube right now. 
• Another YouTube channel to check out is GameNight! Their latest review is Everdell and it looks interesting. The group of four are friends who describes, play, and discuss the strategy of each of the players during play. It looks promising and I hope to hear from you guys on what you think of it.
• I wouldn’t be much of a game board adventurer if I didn’t mention the game Gloomhaven. Though I have heard of it, I have not found anyone who has the game or set up time to play it. But, based on the review I found here, I would definitely recommend renting/buying it. It is a D&D, legacy type game without the dice! Check it out and let me know what you think of it.
