Before anyone thinks we’re trying to make fun of Cole, we think he has done some really good games! We’ve played Root and Oath and several of his other games are on our want-to-play list. We just saw so much hype for Arcs, online and amongst our friends, that our mind came up with this mental image and now you’ll have to live with it too. 😘
Just to give you an idea how ‘Cole-infested’ our gaming groups are, we have a friend trying to set up an Oath campaign and we have two friends who have pre-ordered Arcs. We’re also planning some Root-evenings, as a new expansion for Root is coming out and we all have several Root races, modules, and other things we still want to play before those adorable bats and frogs arrive! And don’t even get us started on the sneaky hype campaigns amongst our friends hoping someone in our friend group picks up a copy of John Company: Second edition, knowing we’ll probably only play it once…
Luckily, gaming offers other interesting experiences, so let’s talk about what we played this week! We played our second to last scenario of Descent: Legends of the Dark, it’s wasn’t the most creative scenario and some situations didn’t seem to line up with the general rules but it’s still a lot of fun and we’ll gladly recommend the game. We’re doing the finale tomorrow and we’re excited to continue with Middara after that. We finished the night with some P for Pizza, which is fun but I think I’d rather play Wibbel as a word game, and the always silly Viking See-Saw.
On Thursday we had a cat-themed board game night and it was great. even though we played three different games, we could still easily organize another cat-themed evening with completely different games! We played Cat in the Box, which keeps surprising me as I’m not the biggest lover of trick-taking games (probably because it’s secretly a push-your-luck area control game). Mlem, which brings out the raw thrills of pushing your luck while you know you really shouldn’t, and the wonderfully silly Fish & Katz (we need to play this giant version!).
On Saturday we played a relaxing game of Let’s Go! to Japan which we like to play as a friendly drafting winding-down game. I wonder when we’ll eventually play it with more players it will transform into a vicious drafting battle…
Like we said, this week we’ll hopefully finish up on our Descent campaign, we’re playing Chaos in the Old World again and we have an open game night. So, there are plenty of things to look forward to!

I love John’s Company and really like Pax Pamir. I haven’t played Root and have played Oath just once but want to get it tabled again at some point soon.
Cole signed my copy of Pax Pamir at Origins this year after I got JC2e played the night before.
