Took folks to school playing #PaoloMori's #LibertaliaWindsOfGalecrest, but just literally speaking, as I was teaching the game. 😁 I did win, but just a squeaker of a couple points. Tight spread between players at the finish, which always makes for a more tense game. Chaotic, but so much fun and underrated in my book.
Lovely game of #CarlChudyk's #Impulse this evening at #CriticalHitGames (sorry no picture). Played it a few times over the years, am starting to appreciate the mechanics while not being good at them. The Impulse where each player adds actions to be taken by all players on their turns is tasty. How can I add actions which benefit me more than my opponents, while also synergizing with the existing actions. Nobody even got to start a "plan", the mechanism for private actions.
Two imperial tribute events early meant a money-heavy strategy, which translated into favors and fan ladies early as well. The rest of the game was managing three palaces and keeping my head above water otherwise while the end of round points rolled in. Pow.
I played this one 7 years ago and it went over like a lead balloon. I was disappointed because it held a reputation as contender for best negotiation boardgame at the time, and I've got a soft spot for negotiation games.
#StefanFeld's #Marrakesh tonight at #CriticalHitGames. Did better than the last couple times, but not enough to do better than third. Keep getting locked out of gray.
