This also means I will be changing the format of my posts here, some posts will be news and similar to posts I have created in the past. Others will focus on gaming events be they local events or private board game gatherings with friends. So this blog will have to become something more, a sort of community board where friends or folk with a passion for board gaming can come to have a look at what's happening in my little corner of the universe.
Having said that, I finally got to bring "Dune Imperium" to the table. I Played it at 4-players with some genuine board game enthusiasts. Overall Dune Imperium offers a great mix of modern boardgame mechanisms, such as Deck Building and Worker placement, but it also offers a depth of play that goes beyond either. Here is a game that would need to be explored over several sessions. While unfortunately, we didn't manage to complete the game due to time restrictions, we all agreed it was worth another shot or two... Overall a great evening and one I'd love to repeat in the near future. This time round I edged ahead by just one point mid-game...so there's that. Still, I'd love to see how the end game accelerates once you near the bottom of the Conflict deck.
I'm not going to go overboard to try and explain how Dune Imperium plays, Rodney Smith from Watch it played did a superb job and I will leave you in his more than capable hands (just head over to their YouTube channel and look up the video). I will however share some snaps with you so you get an idea of the table presence of this superlative game.
That's all I've got to share with you for this first, post Facebook era for Boardgames & Co. I cannot say that this transition will be easy for me, in any way or manner, but the tools are there and I will be using them to the best of my abilities to keep the spark of board gaming camaraderie as alive as possible.
Have a great one everybody!
