We planned to go up into Washington and hike through Ape Cave. Once we had the right clothing and gear we headed out the door. We stopped for breakfast at Rosy's diner and played...
Cthulhu Fluxx 2-6 players
Emily highly suggested I pick this up when we went to the game store the day before. It's
Fluxx but with a Lovecraftian theme and multiple ways for no one to win.
It was certainly interesting and the cards have a lot of special cases. This version requires a lot more reading because of that. You can never assume a Keeper is just a Keeper. We were never in much danger of Doom taking over. Liz ended up winning.
It's okay. It's still not my favorite version, but it's not my least favorite version.
We then had a lovely hike at
Ape Cave. Awesome stuff. Once we came back to the world above, we stopped at the first bar we saw for drinks and a game of...
Back to the Future: The Card Game 2-6 players
Liz got this as a present for me. I love Back to the Future so why not. It's a retheme of a game called
Chrononauts.
You basically play cards to flip over different linchpin cards in the time card
matrix. If you can get the right things in time to happen or not happen and then destroy the time machine, you win. It's kind of cool, but not that entertaining with two players.
This was our first play with more than two. Emily actually owns the original version, but has never played it. It was a very back and forth game. All of us were getting in each other's way and flipping things back that others had already flipped. This frustrated Emily a lot. By the end, she just wanted it over. Liz was really enjoying the game. She won, but she still would have had as good of a time if she lost.
If you like playing a game of tug-of-war with cards where you need to get just the right cards in order to tug, then get this game. If you want to feel like you are in Hillsdale, you'd feel closer just watching the movies.
Tally: 129/175 Bonus: 31/50
