The rest of the games I've played so far this month:

Kinfire Delve: Scorn's Stockade- Another good Kinfire Delve game. We tried 3 player for the first time because this was our second set. It was really fun that way too, such a great little card game series. We managed to win, which was a bonus.

We picked up Trio and 10 Days in the USA in the clearance section of a local toy store. We had 10 Days when the big kids were younger and figured the 11 yr old would enjoy it now. We were right. Trio is a fun little memory set collection game. While very different mechanics, it kind of feels like Flip 7 for a nice and silly party style card game.

I finally got a copy of Kinfire Chronicles: Night's Fall last week. Jo and I played the first 2 scenarios. We had a blast, even though some terrible luck meant we lost scenario 2 really quickly. It's a fun system that shares some of its bones with the Delve games.

Last game was the latest Stonemaier game Vantage. I tried it solo, which worked well, but I think more players might be better. It's definitely an experience as opposed to a strategy game, and I think more people to share the stories with would be a plus. Not sure I'd want the maximum number of letters, but I think 2-4 might be the sweet spot.

Was home feeling under the weather today, so I tried a neat little solo print & play game.

52 Realms: Adventures is a dungeon crawl where you print a map and a character sheet, and provide a deck of cards and a couple of tokens for bookkeeping.

You get a few cards as equipment that help you in combat and moving around the dungeon. You can also get some items that can aid in various ways, and you win if you get to the end and defeat the boss before you get too many wounds or exhaust the deck. You count up your loot for a final score, and that's pretty much all there is to it.

My first play took about 15 minutes, so it's fast, portable, and very simple. Not the deepest game, but fun for a quick diversion. I see why it won the BGG Award for best PnP game, it's a good design.

There are several maps and characters to print too, so there is some variety. I look forward to trying those out sometime in the future.
