I might play some BG3 today...I had to drive to Texas on Friday and fly back yesterday.

I need to play some more of The Hunters, for my project.

I received the CDG Solo System #2 from GMT on Saturday, which will let me play 1960 and (I think) C&C Ancients solo. I already have the first CDG system too.

Received 7th Continent (2nd edition) to add to the list for my project, and also have Castle Ravenloft coming today for that as well. So a few things gaming-wise going on.  :ROFL:

Baldurs Gate 3, at a guess.

Kingmaker, 5 players
Ended with an alliance win by Beaufort, Stafford, and Talbot by Prestige.
After Beaufort took early control of Henry and an early lead, Pole and Courtenay allied to stop his play for "kingmaking." Soon Talbot joined Beaufort to oppose the Pole-Courtenay alliance. After an inconclusive battle in the central area involving nearly all of the two alliances' forces, Beaufort and Talbot reached out to Talbot to join their alliance, giving them enough Prestige points for the victory.

My wife and I started our BG3 campaign last night. We did play though the EA content.

Since she only likes to play for an hour or two at a time, I may start my own as well.

Kingmaker! My dad had a copy of that, which I held on to for years. I just sold it last year though - it was in pretty rough shape unfortunately. Plus it didn't seem solo-able, at least not easily.

BGIII is difficult for me. I keep finding myself getting in WAY over my party's heads and getting our arses handed to us. I just enjoy exploring!

This is the new version of Kingmaker. They've revised the rules to make victory conditions a bit easier (and thus the game shorter); there is also a solitaire version included.

Are you going to bring Kingmaker up here to the Fall Assembly?

It was a buddy's copy. And as much as I want to, I don't think I'll make it to Cary that weekend.  :(

I remember playing the original King Maker a very long time ago. Looks much prettier now though.

Since when did you play board games?
