Yea! My package from TimeWellSpent arrived! This is a small company, that if they have the game in stock, have the best prices. So, you’re wondering, what did I get (all images and descriptions from BoardGameGeek):
Dragon Delta. The object of the game is to move your pawn over a system of bridge-like planks to other side of the board. To accomplish this, players simultaneously select five cards from an equal set of actions. The actions allow players to place plank foundations, place planks, move their pawns, cancel other players’ actions, or remove planks or foundation stones. As can be expected for a game with simultaneous action selection, the game is rather chaotic.
Metro. This game has players putting square tiles onto the board to form rail lines. The object of the game is to make the rail lines as long as possible. Players start with a number of trains ringing the board. Whenever a tile placement connects a train to a station (either on the edge or the center of the board), that train is removed and the player scores one point for each tile that the route crosses, which can cause one tile to score multiple times if the track loops around. However, players score double for city connections, which are the stations in the center of the board.
ellipticcurve also had a game in the order, so I’m guessing she’ll be happy tomorrow. Perhaps we can play something at lunch!
P.S.: Happy birthday to pradagirl, tomorrow.
