Game #1a

Kaivai

Yeah, another playing of Kaivai for me. Unfortunately, we got a rule wrong. For some reason, this game seems to cause that. Perhaps its the rules translation, or the structure of the rules, or perhaps its just me. Anyways, this game needs a good player aid!

Game #1b - Doug mad

Both Peter and I started out with two ships. Doug started out with one ship and a Gods Shrine. Doug didn’t build another ship for a couple of turns and was feeling the pain of not having two ships in play. And he constantly reminded us of it…

I started in last but jumped out in first and never looked back. I knew I needed to keep a supply of influence tokens both for final scoring and just having the ability to perform more actions.

Thankfully Doug said he would play it again soon (perhaps even next week). With the rules fresh in his mind and a learning game accomplished. He is ready to play a real game of it…

Game #2

Ra

Another playing of this great Knizia game, Ra. Unfortunately, my tile set was not the best. I like a low tile (like the 1 or 2) and high tiles. The 1 is great where there are only a couple of tiles on the board. And the tiles contain a good tile like a Pharoah or Civilization. Call Ra and for people to bid higher or be happy for getting a tile for cheap.
