Question of the Weekend

What is a game where you feel the update is inferior to the original?

#BoardGames #417Gamers #QuestionOfTheWeekend #417GamerPodcast

We got a few games to the table over the last few days, and said good bye to 37 games at the Meta Games flea market.

We were able to get "Q" off of our #FLGS Alphabet Challenge with both Qwirkle and Quacks of Quedlinburg.

And a Friday play of Barenpark

#BoardGames #417GamerPodcast #QuestionOfTheWeekend #WorkerPlacement

Monday was a good night for a couple games at Village Meeple. Learned and got stomped at Sweet Lands. really good game with a lot lot lot of possibilities.

The alphabet challenge at our #FLGS Meta Games Unlimited continued last night with the letter "N". We played Nusfjord at 4 players. I'm finding more and more Uwe games i don't like at 4 or more players. I like Nusfjord, but at 2 or 3.

Question of the Weekend

What is an unsung Worker-Placement game that you think people should check out?

#BoardGames #417Gamers #QuestionOfTheWeekend #417GamerPodcast #WorkerPlacement

A little Great Western Trail last night with friends.

#BoardGames #WednesdayGameNight #GreatWesternTrail

Yup. We have all the expansions. Pretty good game

playing Azul and Alhambra with some good friends over the weekend t. They might just be starting their own Alphabet challenge with their collection of games. Off to a good start.

#BoardGames #417Gamers #WeekendGaming #AlphabetChallenge

For our alphabet challenge at our #FLGS Meta Games Unlimited, we were on the letter "M". Meadow is a cute thinky card drafting tableau building game. Four players was just a bit long, but we were laughing and having a great time.

Flatiron Unboxing

Publisher: Ludonova
Designer(s): Isra C., Shei S.

#BoardGames #417GamerPodcast #Unboxing #Flatiron #WorkerPlacement

Worker-placement: check
Cute animals: check
Cute theme: check
Interesting dice mechanic: check

I don't know, it just fell flat with us. Maybe it was the two player play of the game. We're sending it with a friend that I'm sure will like it more

It's interesting when a game on paper ticks almost all the boxes for you and your partner, but doesn't hit the mark. Andrea and I pulled Creature Comforts off of our Pile of Possibilities.

#BoardGames #WeekendGaming #417GamerPodcast #CreatureComforts

Played Flatiron twice this weekend. It's an interesting two player Worker-placement game. I think it's going to stay in our collection for a bit. Isra and Shei made another great game.

#BoardGames #417GamerPodcast

The White Castle, Viticulture, Lords of Waterdeep, FlatIron
