Will and I played 7 Wonders Duel. I won. It was his first time playing it but he picked it up quickly enough (board gamers pick up news games quickly). Then Cameron showed up and we played Terraforming Mars. It’s our game-night go-to game because of the level…

Trials Fusion Custom Track

I spent a few minutes making a track for Trials Fusion on the Xbox One. It’s a fun game that I never thought I would like… and I have loved playing it for years. The video is not me playing the game. This is a far better player…

Games we own. These are all available for game night with the North Tahoe Tabletop Board Game Meetup group. Some of these get played almost every week and some have never been played. Interesting in playing some board games? The North Tahoe Tabletop Board Game Meetup group usually…

7 Wonders Duel – Review

My daughter and I have played 7 Wonders Duel twice. That’s enough to give a basic review of the game. It is certainly not enough to describe a good strategy. 7 Wonders Duel is a two player version of the 7 Wonders game. This game seems to have…
