Easter Weekend Board Gaming

     Since this Spring has started, I have not played as many games as normal. Really, it has been busy. With quite a few commission projects, I have been limited in the amount of space to do things. However, that does not leave the realm of board games out of reach. This last weekend had us playing the kitchen with our tabletop miniature/board games. Most notable was the first time used of Kalissa and I's Rising Sun copy. You may have seen the first game we played previously. We liked the game so much that we decided to get a copy of our own. And we got it fairly cheap considering that the reason for the person letting it go for such a cost was only doing this, because his gaming group had another copy. This was the most interesting reason I had ever heard. I guess no one ever moves or dies in that gaming group. Either way, it is a gain in our favor.
    We played a three player game on Friday with our trusty friend, William. In the end, I think he did not like the game too much. I think the phase used was that is was "too back-stabbing" for his taste. I think the game would have worked a little better with more players. However, I did manage to win despite loosing an awful large amount of units. It happens!
   

   The next day for Saturday, our friends, Hugh and Bill came out to play! Sounds like they were some puppies wanting to play with a ball! Maybe, so! Kalissa and I were not sure whether anyone would come over for the Easter weekend. Bill, had been missing in action for quite a while. My wife was not sure if she was going to recognize him after so long of an absence. Either case, Hugh was nice enough to bring over his new copy of Zombicide: Orc Horde. Yet another expansion, this one has Orc Zombies that are harder to kill than the human counter parts. However, it can be used in combination with the Zombicide: Black Plague. For a cooperative game, it does peak my interest. I am not too much into zombies, but I believe it is the various shows that mess it up by being about human drama. I like the goals and kill zombies effort in the game. It can diffidently be used for future convention ideas. Either way, despite doing fairly well, it was just not good enough. We ended up failing the mission. Either way, the weekend was great times. Here were some photos.
