Alien Frontiers! Such a solid game, everything makes sense and nothing feels out of place or wrong. The game just works. On top of that, it’s incredibly fun! On your turn you roll 3 dice (to start with), each die representing a ship. These are your workers, and you can place them in various places around the board to perform certain actions. For example, on the lunar colony you mine lunar ore, but whichever die or dice you out there will set the price for that round. If someone puts a 6 down, then only a 6 will be able to be used for this purpose by other players! A roll of 3 dice in numerical order can be used for the Raider’s Outpost, which allows you to steal resources or cards from other players. Two dice of the same can be used to build a new ship (another die) at a cost. Such great fun. Once their last colony is built, a player ends the game and points are counted up! Congrats to @dav_mctav on his win in this game, especially since it was his first time playing! A definite winner for this game group! #alienfrontiers #toryniemann #gamesalute #boardgames #boardgame #boardgamegeek #boardgamer #gamenight #gamer #bgg #gaminggeek #gaming #spaceships #workerplacement #dice #dicerolling #tabletopgaming

We successfully kidnap Hitler in #blackorchestra! The story of what comes next after that seems like it might be an interesting hook for a Timewatch game. Anyway, one of the interesting things about Black Orchestra is that more than most euro-type boardgames, it aims to be a more historical evocation game (like a wargame) than a genre emulation that follows some rules of narrative (like Pandemic, Lord of the Rings, or Last Friday). So instead of rising stakes or cycles of tension and relief or foreshadow and reveal you’ve just got a semi-historical flow of events which can provide you opportunities (or not) at various times which are not very predictable. So you have to put yourself in a position to win, by being able to jump on opportunities when they occur, rather than plan for the specifics of how you’re going to pull it off and when. Our win today felt a little fluky; we were in generally bad shape but then had a surprise opening with about a 40% shot, we took it, and pulled it off. In a narrative sense, it could feel weird. But that was the nature of the many Hitler assassination plots, all of which failed. The opportunities were dicey, random, and fleeting. So it works, but you need the right mindset. Plus, you get to kill Hitler! Or try anyway - the game is hard, so if you win, there is a sense of accomplishment 😄 Here is the slightly tweaked way we play, which I recommend: use the standard difficulty; then for each stack of event cards, pull out the Key Events, set aside 3 cards, then shuffle the Key Events back in; for stack 7, shuffle the Documents Located into the bottom half of the deck; and use the optional rule where you can assassinate Hitler’s deputies and have to get both Hitler and 2 deputies to win. It’ll be hard, but that’s fair, and being able (and required) to go after the deputies as well gives the game a bit more action. #bgg #boadgamegeek #boardgames #gamesalute

New to Me - May 2020

New to Me #boardgames - May 2020 @GameSalute @StoneBladeEnt

We’re back!

Pandemic notwithstanding, I managed to actually get a new to me game (and a new to me expansion) play in with the wife this last month.

I have some new games coming so hopefully this trend will continue into June as well.

It does feel good to finally be playing games again.

It felt wrong to suddenly not be playing games, like watching Betwitched and then suddenly having the second…

It was looking bleak during our game of Black Orchestra. The group was looking for support from us in this cooperative dice game about the real-life, historical attempts to kill Hitler, however dice simply hate the lovely Debbie Ridpath Ohi (@BGGgirl on Twitter and @inkygirl on Instagram and BGG) and they are not at all fond of me either so the two of us may have held back our fellow conspirators a bit. #WWII #HistoricalBoardGames #BoardGames #CooperativeGames #GameSalute #PhilipduBarry #DiceGames #BlackOrchestra https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo-MhzJn1Ch/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ybsuwn0kgq4h

This is what I love about #GameSalute production. High quality supremely punchable tokens. And the high quality boards. They do cardboard right. #tabletop #Farlight

Some of the work that I did a while back for the company Game Salute for the tabletop card game Skyway Robbery.  It was great working with so many lovely artists :) The project was funded on Kickstarter and is now available for pre-order on the Game Salute website.  If you're interested, check out their Kickstarter page for more info!
