Second week in a row that we brought Cat in the Box to the table, but this time with the full capacity of 5-players!
We’ve now had a few plays of this game, and I think it’s been cemented as one that we actually need to add to the collection. It’s had us howling and shouting at each other like no other game has for a while, but it’s light and snappy enough that you don’t feel like never speaking to these people again!
Last night, we played Greed with my partner’s family. This dice rolling game has you banking dice to try and race to 5000 points. Each roll must score points, or else you’ll bust for the round and accumulate nothing. Not a complicated game, and very little decision making space (to keep rolling, or to keep scoring?), but it was fun! I’m probably saying that because I won at my very first play of it.
This morning, I brought River Wild to the table. This is a solo game in which you’re trying to create “protected lands” to score points. Additional objectives are printed on cards which score bonus points if met! As with all Button Shy games, there’s fewer than 20 cards, which means the game is tight and doesn’t take too long.
