You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve missed a lot of game playing because I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve missed a lot of writing about it. So here is a 10 second update to bring you up to speed.<\/p>\n
Back in march we went to NormCon up around sunny Cleveland and played a bunch of Savage Worlds games. Last month we went to JimCon in sunny Brownsburg Indiana and played tons of board games and a few Savage Worlds games. (I assume both of the aforementioned cities are sunny. I was inside playing games so how would I know?)\u00c2\u00a0 In between these two outings were games of Agents of Oblivion and Savage Star Wars. We also played some board games. I lost miserably in them and have now forgotten their names.<\/p>\n
Back to the present\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n
This week we played a couple games of Deadwood<\/em>. This is a worker placement game that I first played at JimCon. I liked it so well, I bought it. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re familiar with the game Carson City<\/em>, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s very similar. It has the western theme, the placing of cowboys, and the buildings with special powers, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s simpler and I like it better.<\/p>\n Our first game got off to a rocky start with a cowboy from Mike\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ranch and a cowboy from my ranch having a shootout. They both died and went to Boot Hill. A few turns later, Owen picked up the rules and pointed out that we did the fight wrong. How we did was much more deadly than it should have been. We continued on with the game doing the shootouts correctly from then on. They were still deadly.<\/p>\n You win Deadwood<\/em> by having the most money at the end of the game. Owen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Onerous Outlaws won our first game with $22. Mike\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Manhandling Marauders came in second with $20. Ben\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Band of Butchers was third with $19 and Steve\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Sorry Saints were last with $12.<\/p>\n Our second game started great. After we had played though half the game I realized we had left a very important tile in the box from the end of the first game. After everyone through things at me, we inserted the tile so it could be played. Mike looked to be doing terrible, but in true Mike fashion was able to bring everyone else down with him. Owen won with $15, I and Mike tied for second with $14, and Ben came in dead last with $13. It was a low scoring game because that missing tile was the bank tile. When you play the game, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll know what I mean.<\/p>\n Chaos Steve<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve missed a lot of game playing because I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve missed a lot of writing about it.
