After Action Report – Board Game Night @ Comic Quest, June 5, 2014

I went to Board Game Night at Comic Quest on Thursday.  There was a good crowd at the event.  There approximately 20 people at the event and up to five games being played at any one time.

I played four games that evening.

The first game I played was Trans America.  Trans America is a game that is deceptively easy to learn but is very difficult to master.  In Trans America the players are required to connect up five different cities in different regions of the United States.  The players start building track from their starting post.  If they connect up to another player’s track, they can build off of that player’s track as well as their own.  In this way players wind up helping each other out while trying to achieve their own goals.

After Action Report – Board Game Night @ Comic Quest, May 29, 2014

I went to Board Game Night at Comic Quest on Thursday.  The night started slowly.  People really did not start showing up until about 30 minutes after the event was supposed to start.  We did end up getting a pretty good turnout.  There were 18 people at the event and four games were being played at any one time.  Event with the late start I was able to play two games.

The first game I played was called On the Underground.  On the Underground is a network development game.  The idea behind the game is the players are trying to help the passenger to move around London using the lines that they develop for the underground transportation system they have.  Depending on the number of players in the game each player receives the pieces that represent the lines that they can develop.  In a two player game each player gets four lines, in a three player game each player gets three lines and in a four or five player game each player gets two lines.
