Saturday 15th June: Pax Porfiriana Leave a comment
Andy, Mike, Phil and Darryl played Bruce’s new card game about Mexico under the great dictator.
Very nice cards and lots of interesting twists and turns. We didn’t finish on our first try.
Next we played two games of Bluff. Phil won the first and Bruce the second despite Darryl being seated to Mike’s left!

Saturday 27th July: Star Wars X Wing and Flashpoint Leave a comment
Andy, Phil, Mike, Darryl, James and Bruce gathered together to play two excellent games.
First up was Star Wars X Wing using James’ incredible collection. Phil, Mike and Darryl played the Imperials. Unfortunately Tactics failed them (especially Phil) and R2D2 kept fixing Luke Skywalker’s X wing just to add insult to injury. So Victory was claimed by the Rebel Alliance.
Next we played two games of Flashpoint which involved rescuing people from a burning house. Using the specialists made it possible after the house fell down on our first attempt.

Lord of the Rings Card Game: Khazad Dum; Into the Pit
Phil, Bruce Mike and Andy tried to take this on. It was difficult but the heroes battled through and even defeated the Goblin Patrol. However an unlucky run of bad draws on the way up led to a massive increase in Threat causing the adventurers to lose! It was so close. This is a much harder adventure than it first seems.
