#caesar!

We closed out Classics month with three small box games. Caesar is a replay that I always forget I really enjoy until we play it. 20 Strong: Victorum uses the 20 Strong system, which we've played, but introduces several new mechanics. Hercules and the 12 Labors is brand new to us.

These are all games that involve luck to some extent. In Caesar, it's just about the bag draws. In 20 Strong: Victorum and Hercules and the 12 Labors, you have die rolls to contend with, though both games offer ways to mitigate those rolls.

We enjoyed all three games, even if we only had any success in Caesar. Victorum is quite different from Solar Sentinels, well worth having both. Hercules is proving quite difficult, but in a fun way. Caesar is a very clever and quick puzzle.

Just a note: This is a play that Tom did back in 2007 - the full series is now on Audible UK.

It was weird to hear myself express something so strong without really thinking about it. I now accept that I was being completely honest. Joel and Ethan Coen have created, will…

[:en]REVIEW: There’s Plenty To Love And Hate In ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’[:]

[:en]Without question, it’s safe to say that the mighty Star Wars saga possesses a wealth of rather interesting interstellar speed bumps, a story worthy of its own theatrical adaptation at some point. From the horrors of the infamous Holiday Special unleashed upon television audiences in 1978, to the widely agreed upon questionable changes made as part of the original trilogy’s 1997 Special…
