Carson City: Big Box
Carson City: Big Box had won us over from our first encounter, and this return proved just how easily it can become a delightful bloodbath when the group is in the mood.

Carson City: Big Box was one of those games that had made a very good first impression on me, but had somehow not made it to the table as often as I would have expected. This time, though, its return was exactly what it needed to be: loud, competitive, and with everyone fully alert.
We played with the horse variant, an addition that gave the session a different kind of intensity. It was not simply a quiet process where everyone looked after their own little corner; our choices had to be made while constantly watching the others and what they were setting up.
The very aggressive mix of characters did exactly what you would expect: it turned into a proper bloodbath. Interaction was through the roof and, in the end, hida farmed us all because—for once in history—he was not ahead before the end of the game and was able to sprint through the final round.
Overall, it was a very good game, and I get the feeling everyone enjoyed it. And for dessert, we also played a light little “coal one.”
