We played several games of Ticket to Ride Europe having found the 15 anniversary edition available at half price .

Also some Ho Nuts for Donuts.

Finally this weekend a game of Frosthaven where our heroes advanced to the edge of the world and discovered they needed a boat to go further .

In the campaign phase they built a boat at the craftsman and brewed some useless potions at the alchemist . They encountered the lone surviving mercenary from the group they hired and vowed vengeance on the monsters who defeated them . They were also hired to open up the pass through the mountains using explosives.

So lots to go with multiple branching opportunities ahead .

Warhammer 40 K   Leave a comment

Used Link’s excellent space marines against his as yet unpainted but boosted Tyranids. All the marines are very nicely done now .

The battle took some time but was lots of fun for link on a bank holiday weekend. The Tyranids grabbed all the VPS early on and completed their ritual in the centre of No Mans Land by turn three to four.

So they were well ahead on points but rapidly losing units to the marines devastating firepower or melee combat .

The dreadnought ripped holes in any monster that appeared over cover .

So in the end it was another victory for the Marines as they completed side objectives and held the BIG victory point areas in the final round unopposed.

Fog machine
Space marines carry the day .
