A Snowy Trek to SurfMonkey's Academy of Games

I braved the cold and the snow and trekked down to SurfMonkey's Lair for our monthly evening of gaming goodness. 

The night began with two games of Mage Wars Academy. For the first game, I played my totally original and--as it turns out--totally weak Beast Master Spellbook. I learned the power of having armor for my mage. SurfMonkey steamrolled me. 

 For the second game of the evening, I played my tweaked Wizard's Spellbook. I fared much better in this game and if not for a late-game misplay (attacked when I should have guarded), I have no doubt I would have defeated SurfMonkey's Beastmaster. But as it was, he finished me off.

After that I introduced SurfMonkey to the venerable TCG Yu Gi Oh! He had watched the anime, so was slightly familiar with the game, though he had never played it.

We played a couple of my decks against each other and had a great time!

I count those duels as learning ones. Next time, he shall feel the full wrath of my monsters! Also, I am hoping he picks up some of his own cards, so he can make his own decks and truly try to claim the title of King of Games!

And, of course, Max and I have been playing frequently. Jasper has built a couple of his own decks, and I hope to meet him across the field for a duel soon as well.

Until next time, dear reader, keep on chucking dice and slinging cards!

Duel Monsters in Da House!!!!

 After breaking out my decks and dueling at Red Dragon Tabletop Game Society at the last session, I bought Yu Gi Oh! The Legacy of the Duelist for our XBOX One. Many digital duels, of course, led me to breaking out the cards and buying more cards for the boys and me. We have begun to go down the path to become the Kings of Games. We have been having a really good time with Yu Gi Oh...I am especially loving it even though Max beats me consistently. Truly fun times!

We have even found time for some more dungeon crawling. D&D forever!

SurfMonkey Takes Me To School At The Academy!

SurfMonkey and I got together on Tuesday night for our monthly game night. After our initial, muddled foray into the Sistarra Academy for Mages with the excellent game: Mage Wars Academy, we have been itching to get it back to the table now with a better idea of how to play. 

Well, we got it back to the table all right: Three games worth! I played the Wizard and he, the Beastmaster, for the first two games. The first game was a long, fun battle that I lost. The second was a scrapper's skirmish. I lost that duel as well, but I was one turn away from the win as his mage had only 1 life point left. It was a great game! I made some dubious choices in the duel, which ultimately cost me the game, but man, was it fun to lose. 

For our third game, we switched mages, and finally, I was triumphant!

We both agreed we are very interested in building our own spellbooks for these two mages and have agreed to play it again next month with our own creations. I can't wait! What a great game!

Until next time, keep on chuckin' dice and slingin' cards! And stay warm!!

Gaming In The New Year

Happy New Year! The annual party game for MEM was one the hottest hits of the year: Codenames! It lives up to the hype. We played it all evening. Truly a great game. 

 I also finally built Tyranid decks for Warhammer 40K Conquest. We have played twice since teh decks were built. The first game, Maximan played the horrific bugs vs. my Astra Militarum. The bugs had my soldiers for breakfast.

We played a second game. This time I was the bugs. Maximan's Space Marines beat the bugs. Good times.

Our Fantasy AGE Titansgrave game is starting back up again after the holiday hiatus. I will also be heading over to SurfMonkey's place next week for more gaming.

Stay tuned and see you soon in 2016! Crazy.
