Greetings loyal readers. It’s Monday already. Boy time just has a way of flying doesn’t it?
I finally got my Kickstarter of Root in the mail last week. The tagline is a “A Game of Woodland Might and Right” and it is such a good looking game. The art style is distinctive and cute but not in an overt way. The factions in the game are all asymmetrical with different ways distinct to them to score points. With the Riverfolk Expansion, up to six can play. I got to play a two player game between the Marquise de Cat and the Eyrie. I got to a strong start and my opponent couldn’t find a way to keep me from following my Decree, so I won pretty handily. It feels like a game that needs repeated plays to get all the finer strategies. I’m very happy with my purchase.
That was the high point of the weekend, really. Not much else to talk about. I bought Last Resort Island on Steam on Sunday and burned through all 96 levels in 14 hours (which means I played a LOT). It’s one of those match puzzle games. It had a mini solitaire quest line in it that I found more fun than the actual match game, but the game was still pretty good.
I’m over half way through WKRP in Cincinnati. It’s going a lot faster than Deep Space Nine, which makes sense with shorter episodes and less seasons. The comedy still holds up today.
I think that’s about all I have in my brain today. I stayed up too late playing Last Resort Island yesterday so my brain isn’t running at peak efficiency.
Have a good seven and we’ll do this all again next Monday!
