Zooloretto

I got Zooloretto yesterday and we played a 3 player game last night. Coloretto was my first intro to this exciting world and Zooloretto is a boardgame implementation of the same. Super game! It carries the same elements of Coloretto and adds some interesting variations bringing in money into the game. The choices are good [...]

Thurn & Taxis: Power and Glory - Session report

This is a session report I posted on BGG.
I had enjoyed Thurn & Taxis so much ever since it came out. Most of our plays were only 2 player sessions with the wife, but the game was great and after I read somewhere that Alan Moon loved playing it with his wife, we were elated. [...]

Thurn & Taxis and the expansion

I got the new expansion for Thurn & Taxis and immediately we played a 2p session. Firstly I realised that I had played T&T wrongly for so long now. I have completely forgotten to reduce the points for houses not placed onto the board at the end of the game! Thanks to BGG I noticed [...]

Recruiting another gamer

My 6 year old son, Sushanth has a very close friend called Ashwin. Both these kids spend hours playing with their “SPD Power Rangers” figurines etc. Sushanth of course has just discovered that he can play so many more games in my collection. Ashwin for long had been reluctant to join in on the gaming [...]

Union Pacific - Good rhythm

We finally got some rhythm going while playing Union Pacific. After 5 or 6 plays, though the game generated good excitement there was a monotony in taking similar actions every turn. But it was only yesterday that we played a 4 player game with Aarthi, Shreyasi and Sai. All of us had played it and [...]

Games played Apr 07

Finally a month with more 30 different games being played. A few new games also were played. And I finally played some games that I do not own! This means that I have some gaming partners who are getting to get other games so that the games I play are not restricted only to the [...]

TTR 1910:USA - What makes it different and better

I have been raving about this game the last few months and just noticed that the no of plays is close to 100 now.  We have been playing it everyday almost. Aarthi (my wife) just loves the game and does not mind playing it with any number of players. What makes it different? Is it [...]
