More games....
I've got half a dozen entries in my phone from previous games nights, and there have probably been half a dozen more that I didn't record at all... :-(
Anyways, Jeff came over today and played a couple of games. We started with a quick game of King of Tokyo with the Peskies. Carmen's Godzilla with a shrink ray was no match in the end for Jeff's burrowing Cthulhu.
Then we broke out Hannibal: Rome vs Carthage, where my mighty Roman Empire was crushed by a rampaging Hannibal and his elephants. It's a reasonable game, but took over three and a half hours to play, so I think it'll be reserved for rare occasions, as we could probably fit two games that we enjoy more in that time.
The night was capped off with a short game of Quarriors, where I managed to secure a reasonably quick victory on the back of three dragons. On the way home, we talked about ways to make corrupted quidity dice more relevant. I suggested removing the ability to cull them from your pool, and Jeff thought that not being able to cull any dice apart from ones that score might work. A thought that I had after dropping Jeff off was to allow players to get one extra quiddity, at the cost of adding two or three corrupted quiddity dice to your pool...
We may have to try these variants and see how they go.
