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.

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.
