Temple of Elemental Evil, Part 1

I decided that for a change, I will go after the earth key without getting the club first
I had the four keys before I decided it was time to fight. Hireling RAN to the shrine
Died in the boss fight – I did get three elementals downs

Warfighter WWII

Attempted the shortest scenario with a larger force.
- I cleared out the first location on the first turn.
- I destroyed the objective on the second. What? I actually won?
- Perfect draw: Silver Bullet, Move Out x2, Stay Low, and two others

Arkham Horror: The Card Game

Learned the rules and played the first two scenarios.
There is one more scenario in the campaign
Annoying that class icons are in differing parts on the cards
I find it interesting that there is a resign mechanism if you decide it is best to quit the field

Aeon’s End

Package deliveries before 8:00 AM?
A few unusual mechanisms
- Variable turn order
- The discard pile is not shuffled when it becomes the new deck
- Delay when casting spells
The game has several bosses of varying difficulty
The game also includes rules for adjusting challenge
My first game was tight and I barely came through it on probably the easiest boss

Minecraft

Started on the subway tunnel
Finally gained a cartographer and gained a map – a long way out
Found a guest home in an out-of-the-way location

Pre-painted?? Where’s the fun in that? Half the fun with miniatures is painting them yourself. Although, I can see where ‘pre-painted’ could be nice for some.
