We’re lucky to have friends that own Battlestar Galactica plus the Pegasus Expansion so we get to play it occasionally. We also know a friend who doesn’t really play board games but still has a copy in shrink and we think they’re not aware that it’s worth quite a lot. 😉

So we ended up playing four games last week! First up was Lumicora, after having read the rulebook thoroughly for the comic we made about it, it was fun to get to play the game too! A nice little easter egg is that the title on the game box has been printed with glow-in-the-dark ink! If you enjoy the more puzzly games like Cascadia, Caldera Park, and Aqua, this is right up your alley. We did think it was a very tight puzzle (meaning you have little time to accomplish everything you’d like to do).

Speaking of that, we played Age of Galaxy and that game is a great example of having to kill your darlings. We were impressed at how they cramped such a game in such a tiny box though. But since I’m a slight completionist I had to let go of that urge to try every action in the game and accept I was never going to take the explore action. The game took a little longer than we thought so we’ll give Cat in the Box and Mlem a go this week.

On Friday we continued our Artisans of Splendent Vale campaign which is always a good time! On Saturday we trained for our hiking trip later this year and walked about 10 miles with our gear. The weather was good and nature was pretty so that was a good time!

We ended the week by giving the second scenario of Sky Team a go and we won again on the first try! I guess we’re kinda ok at flying that plane together, haha. But I’m sure we’ll hit a figurative wall when we move from the green to the yellow scenarios.

We’ll be back on Wednesday with an extra comic! See you then!
