SurfMonkey, Autumn Games, and KEYFORGE ARRIVES!!!

Fall is here, hear the yell...of Arkham Horror the Card Game hitting the table. As I usually do around the this time every year, I got one of my all time favorite games to the table solo style. I played the Return to the Night of Zealot campaign all the way through with Roland Banks and Wendy Adams. 

It was a nice trip down memory lane. The replacement elements of the Return campaign did freshen up the experience. I particularly had fun trying different decisions than I made in my first time through all those games ago. 

We did, however, sacrifice Lita again. Sorry, Lita. This game still continues to be a fun experience for me. And I also finally bought the awesome big player mat from FFG to be the background for my creepy, insanity-inducing adventures. 

AND NOW THE MOMENT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!! KEYFORGE ARRIVES!!

SurfMonkey got an early copy from somewhere on the Internet. It was glorious. 

 Oh, yeah, and we also continued our Dormant Expandable Card Game event. This time up was Buddyfight. He won. 

We also tried out the new Transformers TCG. Pretty cool.

But back to Keyforge. We played his new deck against a print and play I had cobbled together. I think we split two games. 

Then we played some Cardfight!! Vanguard. I'm pretty sure he beat me at that as well. He was on a roll.

Fast forward to the Keyforge pre-release held by our FLGS, and I finally have my own Keyforge decks!!!!! Below is the very first Keyforge deck I ever opened, and our very first game of Keyforge with my own decks!!!! It was glorious!! I love it so much. I believe I may soon make an entire blog post about this amazing game when I receive all of my pre-ordered product. Until then, I'll be lost in the Crucible!

Thanks for visiting and until next time Forge those keys and may the chains never bind you!!

School Starts! SurfMonkey Shines!!

Another summer has gone, and the games have slowed a bit; however, they never really stop. Maximan and I got the new Warhammer Age of Sigmar Champions to the table a couple of times. Truth be told, I have been playing the Beta of the game and like it better than the cardboard. It's an interesting and tactical game. 

 We played a bit more Magic. That old chestnut. 

SurfMonkey and I met twice since school started. Once for our monthly meet up and once for the playdate we set up for our kids. The two Dormant Expandable Card Games we rolled were DragoBorne and Call of Cthulhu LCG (one of my top 5 favorite games). I won the DragoBorne game; he won the Call of Cthulhu game with a stunning surprise come from behind victory. 

I also introduced SurfMonkey to the Warhammer Age of Sigmar Champions game. We may not be getting that one back to the table.  

We also finally got our Vanguard decks to the table and played three cardfights. 

The Little Wizards Basement Gamers got together for a rousing game of D&D the other Saturday as well. A great time was had by all. Looking forward to the next time we can get together for an adventure!!

We eagerly await Keyforge to change our gaming lives forever. November can't get here fast enough!!

Looking forward to some autumn gaming as the weather slowly turns. I have a feeling a certain LCG will be hitting my table again soon. Until next time, sling some cards and wait patiently for Keyforge!

Summer Is Fleeting. Games Are Heating Up!

Broke out Power Legion, statted some more heroes and villains, wrote some house rules for combat and armor, and played two scenarios. In the first scenario Gargoyle and Rage Zombie summoned the Dark Infernal from his ethereal prison house. Tough Girl, Talon, and The Resilient Sphere were there to stop them. However, the heroes were defeated. 

In the second scenario, the Unstoppables were at the Void prison to stop the Dark Infernal, Gargoyle, and Rage Zombie from breaking free their leader, Morlock. It was a tough battle, but in the end, the Unstoppables proved to be just that. 

SurfMonkey and I got together for card night where I introduced a new feature to our get-togethers. Dormant Expandable Card Game Random Chance. I made a list of the card games we own but don't play often or at all. We roll on a table at the beginning of the night and play the game rolled. Then we go on to play what we planned for the rest of the evening. This time around, we rolled Warhammer 40K Conquest. After that, we played Cardfight Vanguard and Dragonball Super Card Game. SurfMonkey had a good night. 

Maximan and I have been exploring Crystal Clans further as well as had a chance to play a game of the new Warhammer Age of Sigmar Champions TCG. Both are great games. I am looking forward to playing both games more. 

Then Holy Crap! Fantasy Flight Games dropped an industry-changing announcement at Gen Con. Richard Garfield has designed a unique deck game (the first of its kind) and will unleash it on the world in November. I am beyond excited about this innovative and exciting game. It's like it's 1993 all over again. This has the potential to become as big as Magic; it's that game changing. 

I have my pre orders in. Can't wait!!

SurfMonkey and StormBringer!! And So Many Summer Games!!

Lots of Warhammer Invasion!! I played every Hidden Kingdoms race. 

There was even D&D 5E with the Alabama cousins. 

 Card night with SurfMonkey. Cardfights and Dragonball Super Card Game!

 New Crystal Clans clans!

 Stormbringer and I finish the Dunwich Legacy...or should I say, it finishes us!!

 Introduced StormBringer to the Crystal Clans!

 SurfMonkey, StormBringer, and I take down a difficult Dead of Winter scenario!!

 I was in the mood for some Power Legion!!

Summer is flying. Trying to get in as many games as I can! Been playing some solo 4 Against Darkness. Even made it to 4 Against the Abyss. We teleported out before the big boss. Might go back in and take it down...if we can find it without dying first! Keep on chucking the dice and slinging the cards! See you next time!!
