Got in a game of Indiana Jones Sands of Adventure. Managed a win this time. We were using the “B” sides of the tiles. They seemed to make things easier than the “A” sides. Fun little co-op. Indy and Sallah triumph!

Got in a game of Marvel Dice Throne. Doctor Strange managed to overcome Miles Morales. Barely. Was a pretty fun round actually. We both managed to pull off our ultimates (in spite of my wife’s attempts to thwart me). Gotta say, if you don’t pull any spells in that five card draw, Strange’s ultimate is a bit of a letdown.
Machi Koro is super simple to travel with. Just rubber band the cards and throw the dice and money tokens in a bag and there you go.
Jaipur is similar that way.
Anything by Oink Games.
I did back the Kickstarter and we just got access to the files the other day. (Pretty quickly after the close) It’s a print and play game so when it’s available it should just be the files. I’m not certain when it will be available to everyone but I wouldn’t think it should be too long. I also know they’re planning on adding more maps in the future for folks that backed/buy it. Sorry I don’t have more specific info.
If you have the digital version it offers a few different ways to play solo. Gives you different things to work towards/try out etc.
Yeah. No actual hiking. We just have a trip coming up and this is compact enough that it would be fun to take along. Sorry for the confusion. 🙂
You’re going on a series of four “hikes”. You roll to determine how many grid/elevation lines you can cross in a turn. You have to end your turn on a waypoint. If you can’t, you can rest and earn a water bottle which will let you add one additional line cross in a later turn. The different spots enable scoring/abilities. So by the end you’ve wandered over the map and hopefully accrued some points.
Got in a play of Tiger and Dragon and Cosmoctopus.
Tiger and Dragon is a larger box game from Oink Games. I like the slightly puzzly nature of this one and playing with the tiles.
Cosmoctopus is gonna take a couple more plays before I get a good opinion of it. The table presence is fun, but I almost can’t imagine a world in which I don’t always play the “fast” game and just start everyone with 3 tentacles. This thing seems like it runs long. We definitely had a couple questions about the rules as we were going through.
