BEBGC Meeting Recap 01/07/17

Attendees

Chris Cregan, Michael Feinberg, Amanda James, Brandan James, Dave Landon, Karen Landon, Jeramee Scherer, and Alex Wright

Games Played

Dave, Karen, Jeramee, and Alex started with Ra, where Karen won commandingly and Jeramee came in second.

Chris and Michael played 7 Wonders: Duel with Chris rolling over Michael to a military victory.

Chris, Michael, Dave, Jeramee, and Alex tried to “Escape from Innsmouth” in Mansions of Madness Second Edition. Initially things went well for the group and they found a way out of the town and solved most of the mystery, but the situation soon spiraled out of control. Much back tracking was required to find the final piece of evidence and to then make their escape and meanwhile the horrors of the situation were sinking in. By the end, all of the investigators had gone insane and their disparate goals kept anyone from making it to the boat out in time, causing everyone to lose.

Chris, Michael, Brandan Dave, Jeramee, and Alex played three rounds of One Night Ultimate Werewolf Daybreak. In all three the villagers were able to successfully find one of the wolves and win.

Chris, Michael, Jeramee, and Alex played a close round of Dominion. Chris’s shanty town + smithy combo won him the game with 31 points, but Alex was just behind with 30, then Michael with 29.

Amanda, Brandan, Dave, and Karen played Castles of Mad King Ludwig where Amanda won.

Chris and Jeramee played Blood Rage with Chris being victorious.

BEBGC Meeting Recap 03/05/16

Attendees: Chris Cregan, Michael Feinberg, Scott Harris, Brandan James, Dave Landon, Karen Landon, Angela Li, Ed McGran, Kerri Olson, Byron Varin, Alex Wright, Phillip

Games Played

Michael, Scott, Ed, Byron, and Phillip tried out the club’s new copy of Dead of Winter. They played the introductory “We Need Samples” mission, but inadvertently selected the hard core difficulty. The group lost from moral, but with more statistically likely rolls on collecting samples after killing zombies, probably could have won.

A second game of Dead of Winter was played, with Chris replacing Scott, this time the “Raiding Party” scenario, also on hard core. It started off with a player dead from a bite on the first move and went downhill from there, with the group soon lost.

Brandan, Dave, and Alex played Five Tribes, with Dave winning.

The three of the moved on to XCOM: The Board Game and defeated the aliens.

Brandan and Dave played 7 Wonders: Duel, where Dave won again after Brandan was stuck in a swamp.

Chris, Brandan, Kerri, and Angela played Castles of Mad King Ludwig with the Secrets expansion with Angela building the most fantastical castle.

Chris, Brandan, Dave, Karen, Kerri, and Angela faced off in Ca$h ‘n Gun$ where Kerri was the most successful gangster.

They finished up with Mister X with the investigators finding Kerri’s Mister X.
