October’s #BoardGames play list looking good but a thoroughly disappointing #Solotober2024 - next year I’ll have to take all my annual leave & send the rest of the family on a month-long vacation so I have a chance to complete it!

#Solotober2024 Día 31: Yggdrasil Chronicles
Como es el último día he sacado la caja más grandota que tengo.
Juego cooperativo que tiene modo solitario. He conseguido vencer la aventura de iniciación "difícil" con Heimdall como dios activo y Odín y Freya de dioses de apoyo. La clave ha sido tener una gran colección de artefactos y un buen control de daños. Aún así casi pierdo la partida al quedar a un punto de vida.

#Solotober2024 Día 30: The Red Cathedral
Por fin lo he podido probar y me ha encantado. Se nota que es el "papá" del TWC por la preparación y los combos, pero la mecánica del mancala me parece muy fresca (lo más parecido que he probado es Trajan).
He conseguido vencer a mi tocayo usando el tablero "principiante" 49:35.

#Solotober Days 27 & 28: Still no games…
Day 29 though: #Hunted Mining Colony 415 (by Gabe Barrett)!
I’ve been too busy to get many #boardgames into my schedule, but I did squeeze in this play yesterday! Mining Colony 415 is about 80% similar to its Hunted sibling, Kobayashi Tower, but the dexterity aspect streamlines the gameplay with a fun twist. I lost this game though by running out of time and by getting slain by an alien. Totally metal!

#Solotober2024 Día 29: Mini Rogue (a roguelike microgame)
Lo imprimí éste verano y aún no lo había probado.
Tenía mis dudas, pero tras una victoria en modo casual le veo potencial si le subo la dificultad.
Mi duda es si se hará muy repetitivo tras algunas partidas.

I completed the last route on my last coin but only scored 190 points so am considered merely an apprentice.

Free Ride is much better multiplayer. I did find myself many times wondering if I'd spent a coin each turn (I think I did) and often had to count back a turn to find out if I'd done 4 or 5 movement. I prefer the sneaking in and grabbing the easy route someone else thought they'd get of multiplayer, so this is probably a no for me.

On the positive side, each time I play my knowledge of European geography gets stronger.

#Solotober2024 Día 28: Leyenda de los cinco anillos - El juego de cartas
Partida en solitario usando las reglas no oficiales creadas por RewindMasters. Estás reglas proporcionan un bot lo suficientemente listo para actuar, aún que no puede igualarse a un humano.
He obviado el modo campaña para hacer una escaramuza entre el clan Grulla y el Unicornio, con victoria para los primeros.

#Solotober2024 Día 27: Sector 6
Juego español con variantes en solitario. La idea del juego me gusta, tanto la construcción del laberinto como las mecánicas de la competición. Pero entiendo que la gestión de las rotaciones de las losetas puede ser tedioso.
He hecho el solitario simple, que es más rápido, pero prefiero el test donde vas superando laberintos.

Sector 6

Sector 6 is an abstract strategy game for 1 to 4 players, with a playing time of 30 minutes. Each player controls two prisoners as they make their way through the winding labyrinth of a space prison, trying to collect enough oxygen to survive while denying their opponents the same. The goal is to collect as many points as possible (represented by oxygen tiles of different colors and values), located inside a maze formed by hexagonal tiles. Players must move across the maze and collect the points before their opponents. The game has two phases: construction and competition. In the construction phase, players take turns placing tiles and creating the the board (maze). Then the competition phase begins, where players move around the maze attempting to collect more points (oxygen) than their opponents. Where players place their tiles is of utmost strategic importance in the construction phase: Sector 6´s building system allows strategic planning while the maze is being created. In the absence of a predefined configuration, each game takes place on an entirely new board. There are essentially an infinite amount of setup configurations which allows for high replay value. But building a good maze and moving quickly will not be enough to achieve victory. During the game, Sector 6's maze will be in constant motion, as players can rotate the tiles, thereby changing the layout of the maze, potentially allowing players to block their opponents or create new pathways to reach the points faster. So it won't be the fastest player who wins, but the one who learns how to best use the intricacies of the maze to their own advantage and to the detriment of their opponents!

#Solotober2024 Día 26: Revive
He sobrevivido a mi primera partida al juego, pero muchas cosas han quedado por ver (se desbloquean en la campaña).
El modo solitario detona el final de partida de modo diferente al normal, limitando el número de cartas que puedes jugar. Algunas acciones, como la del interruptor, parecen un poco pobres, pero seguro que con la campaña son más útiles. Ganas de probar la campaña con gente.
