Summer Gaming and the Return of SurfMonkey!!!

The end of June and through July, despite some unwanted demands on my free time, we have managed to get in a fair amount of gaming! We introduced the Alabama cousins to some good old D&D 5E. 

 Maximan and I resurrected one of all-time favorites: Call of Cthulhu LCG.

We got in a couple of games of our favorite 3 player expandable card game: Epic!

Always time for some Japanese TCGs! Maximan and I Cardfighting!

I used my Reign of Cthulhu minis for location markers for the penultimate chapter of the Dunwich Legacy campaign for Arkham Horror LCG. This chapter almost killed both investigators, but thanks to my own Pulp Action variations to the Chaos bag, they eked out survival by the barest margins. Then the final chapter found the investigators lost in time and space. Love this game!!

 

The boys get a little relaxing outside dice rolling in on a family excursion. 

I made a triumphant return to SurfMonkey's lair after a too long hiatus. We played the new Monopoly Gamer and a gantlet of DragoBorne TCG games in. Finally feels good to get this upcoming, exciting new TCG to the table in a serious way. Can't wait for my trial decks to arrive in August. 

Hopefully, we can resume monthly meet ups to sling cards and roll dice. Bring it on, SurfMonkey!!

In other news, I resumed playing in the online D&D game with the Starshield Gaming Society. It was good to get back into the dungeon!

Until next time, readers, sling those cards and chuck those dice. See you soon! 

Tis the Season for Gaming!

Turkey Game Daze

Turkey day festivities usually leave room for games. This year was no exception.  Before we traveled to Cbus for family and feasting, I managed to get in a couple solo games of Call of Cthulhu LCG with newly tweaked decks. I was victorious.  

Then in Cbus we introduced the cousins to Epic the Card Game and Chess! Good times were had by all.

Looking forward to the Christmas season and even more gaming! Not to mention a side trek to StormBringer's house. Stay tuned!

A Bad Night for SurfMonkey and Other Stories

SurfMonkey came over for our monthly game night. As with our last meeting, card games were featured. We started out with my current favorite card game: Call of Cthulhu LCG. SurfMonkey played my newly constructed Mi-Go deck while I played my Order of the Silver Twilight build. 

It was a great game. I got off to a fast start, but once the Mi Go were up and running, the game swung his way. In the end, the bounce effect of my Silver Twilight Lodge characters won me the day, three stories to two! Awesome game!

 Then we moved to Epic. We played with the demi god builds. The picture below pretty much tells you how the games went for SurfMonkey.

Our final game of the night was VS. System 2PCG. I played Iron Man Avengers build. He played the Deadpool X Men build. Neither of us leveled our main characters, and in the end, the Avengers were victorious.

Also, in the past couple of days, I managed to get in several solo games of Call of Cthulhu vs. Minion 2.0.

The first game was Shub vs. a Tome-heavy Miskatonic Investigator deck. It was a great game. In the end, Shub broke the world with a Dimensional Rift, and won the game on the next turn. Epic!

Then I played my Silver Twilight deck vs. the Cthulhu deck. It was a struggle, but in the end, the Lodge won.

Max and I also got in a quick game of Epic one day after school. Good vs. Wild. Wild was victorious.

One night the boys and I also got in a game of King of Tokyo using the Halloween edition dice. Fun times!

On the Starshield Game Society front, SurfMonkey takes his place 'behind the screen' and is running a Titansgrave campaign. My character is a blaster-happy halfling called Roldice Maifoot. Looking forward to playing the Fantasy AGE system for the first time. 

That's all for now. I expect the next time I post, it will include some more Call of Cthulhu. We'll see...
