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.
