Our latest virtual boardgaming night had us return

Our latest virtual boardgaming night had us returning to Arrakis for another game of Dune Imperium. It was a tight game with four players and came down, as it often does with this game, to the final battle and a Hail Mary play that had one player pulling out a win by a single point. Super worker placement game with deckbuilding elements that makes it play differently every time. Not a lightweight game, but definitely recommended to those who like this kind of thing.

Tonight's virtual boardgaming night had us playing

Tonight's virtual boardgaming night had us playing Asmodee's fantastic computer adaptation of the ever-popular Scythe. I've played it a bunch of times and I still don't know what I'm doing!

This week's virtual gaming night on Tabletop Simul

This week's virtual gaming night on Tabletop Simulator introduced us to a decade-old eurogame called Hansa Teutonica. It's a highly-regarded game that has something of an obscure theme with the players acting as 12th-century mercantile traders establishing trade routes during the times of the Hanseatic League. Sounds turgid, but we found it to be a challenging and competitive game that had us doing a lot of strategemizing as we went along.
