Warhammer Quest: Darkwater The game guys got together and we played a few rounds of Darkwater. It was fun! We were able to *somewhat* complete the missions and escape without too much trouble. There was one scenario that the board was flooding and our moves were hindered. Yeah, we paced it out and there is no solution that allows us to make it to the exit in time. So we stretched the rules a bit. Unwinable. Maybe there’s a treasure that allows you to walk on water somehow. Again, setup is SO QUICK. That’s a real highlight. You can play multiple scnerarios without a big break to reset.

Warhammer Quest: Darkwater The green and pustulant waters of… Darkwater flooded the game table last night. We played our first game of WHQDW! It was fun. I’m pretty sure we did most things right. We’ll see how it goes. My first impression is that hostiles get a LOT of activations. In the initial “training” scenario, 3 Mire Kelpies activate (and respawn) after each hero has a go. That keeps you pretty busy. We’ll be up to our ears in it when we graduate to multiple hostile types on the board. Hopefully they don’t all keep respawing too. We were able to complete the mission and escape on time without too much trouble. The board-book worked fine. It was kind of nice actually. We were pleasently surprised with the reasonable amount of time it too to set up and play. WHQ games are fun, but they can take FOREVER to complete.…

Torpedo Run! Some of the rubber bands were shot; we had replacements for the subs, but not ships. My kids were surprised at my accuracy. I’ve still got it! Fun times. We also played Trash, King of Tokyo, and Ravine.

Dungeon! This is in the family’s stable of games, but oddly, I’d never played it. Until today! Fun and kinda silly.

Warhammer Quest: The Adventure Card Game It’s a ten year old game that only had two official player expansions. It’s kind of a hairball to learn but we’re getting the hang of it. The biggest things to remember are that:
