Scoville

Scoville left us with my wife utterly dominating the table. Thankfully, Wongamania: Banana Economy provided the right release, complete with diseases, divorces, and Debtzilla.

In Scoville, my wife crushed all of us. That simple, that completely. As for me, I may go play the lottery and see whether my luck changes a little.

The game had a very clear winner and, unfortunately for the rest of us, it was not me. Some nights you simply accept the loss and look toward the next game.

And the next game was Wongamania: Banana Economy, in a perfectly friendly atmosphere. There, I finally got my revenge: I treated the table to diseases, divorces, and Debtzilla.

This time, the interaction was exactly as malicious and entertaining as it needed to be. Good stuff.

  • Horizon Forbidden West: Seeds of Rebellion

    Horizon Forbidden West: Seeds of Rebellion is a polished, substantial co-op campaign game that captures the videogame’s combat well. Its weak, filler-heavy narrative, however, may keep it from reaching the finish line despite the strong gameplay.

  • Abalone

    The Abalone I remembered from the 1990s came back off the shelf and, to my pleasant surprise, immediately found a new opponent at home. It remains an honest blast from the past, even if it feels somewhat dated once nostalgia is removed from the equation.

  • Dune: War for Arrakis

    An impressive asymmetric conflict game that sat on the shelf for a long time, but ultimately justified the moment it finally reached the table. It keeps its depth without becoming exhausting, and the Spacing Guild makes it even better.
