<\/a>Great Heartland Hauling Co.<\/p><\/div>\n
Over the last couple of months we\u2019ve played lots of games. Ben is still running us through a Savage Worlds 50 Fathoms game, but we\u2019ve also played a lot of board games. Here\u2019s the \u201ccatch-up\u201d version of what we\u2019ve been up to.<\/p>\n
Firefly: The Game
\nWe enjoyed this game, although don\u2019t believe the playing time on the box. It says two hours, but it took us three evening of about three hours each to finish the game. Granted, it was out first game and I do have to play with Mike, Ben, and Owen who all fret over making a mistake and thus can take a long time working out their optimum move.<\/p>\n
Firefly: Out to the Black
\nThis is a Firefly cooperative card game. We played it a couple time because we lost the first game. We don\u2019t like to lose cooperative games. While we liked the game, we didn\u2019t think it was great. More of a ho-hum Firefly card game. We may play it again\u2026and maybe not.<\/p>\n
Great Heartland Hauling Co.
\nThis is a card game that includes wooden trucks and cubes. You basically try to make the most money buying, hauling, and selling goods. We like this game. It is fun, doesn\u2019t take too long to play, and has a good amount of strategy involved. We\u2019ll worth the price.<\/p>\n
Railways of England and Wales
\nThis is one of our favorites in the \u201cRailways\u201d series of games. It\u2019s also near and dear to the heart of Ben and Owen who both hail from England. Strangely I like it because I somehow know England\u2019s geography better than the US. This is because I\u2019ve learned all of my geography from games.<\/p>\n
Rolling Freight
\nThis is another cube moving train game like the \u201cRailways\u201d games, but plays completely different. In the \u201cRailways\u201d game, the initial distribution of the cubes plays hugely into how the game will go and what cities will be popular. In Rolling Freight, I think which board you use plays a much bigger part in your strategy. We used a different board this time. It wasn\u2019t until it was too late that I realized my strategy from the other board was completely wrong for this board. Oh well.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m now all caught up. But you didn\u2019t mention\u2026 Shut up.<\/p>\n
Below are some pictures from our games.<\/p>\n
