Patchwork: Quilting Tetris-style

By Meeple Lady | June 30, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment

My two friends were in town last weekend, and we took a quick road trip to Sedona, Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon in northern Arizona. The state never ceases to amaze me in terms of scenery. It truly has some of the most gorgeous locations in the U.S. I posted a few photos on Instragram from the trip.

One friend left on Sunday afternoon, and the other on Sunday night. That left us with a few hours of chill time in between and, of course, some quick games. I busted out Patchwork since it’s a 2-player game and fairly short with a game time of 30 minutes.

Twilight Struggle: No. 1 for a reason

I haven’t been this excited to talk about a particular game in a while. Granted, I’m always excited to talk about board games, but this one in particular, I’m uber excited to share. Which game is it? Twilight Struggle.

Twilight Struggle is ranked No. 1 for board games, war games and strategy games on boardgamegeek.com. That’s quite impressive. I’ve had this game for about a year and a half but have never played it until two weekends ago. And then I played it a second and third time in the next few days.

Twilight Struggle is a 2-player game that plays about 180 minutes. The mechanics seem daunting at first glance, but the main reason I just played it is because I’ve never wanted to bring a 2-player game to a gaming event. It seems very anti-social. So when a friend of mine who enjoys heavier board games had a few hours to sit with me to learn and play, I immediately busted it out.

Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small

Many board games list a minimum 2 players for the game, but in reality, you often a need a third or fourth person for the game to have some depth and playability. That isn’t the case for Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small. This game, designed by board-game genius Uwe Rosenberg, is a spin-off of the classic game Agricola and is created specifically for two players.

Game play lasts about 30 minutes, with a total of 8 rounds. The box itself is compact and the components are solid. You receive wooden bits for your farm, and you guys already saw the animeeples that I use for the original Agricola game in my previous post.
