Game #1

Mordred

Tonight was another 1st week in a month with The Central Texas Boardgames Meetup Group. We started out with a couple of hands of Escalation!. Next up was a Wallace game that I wanted to try out — a reprint of one of his older games called Mordred. It certainly looked interesting. The rules were simple. They even promised that the game would play quickly. And with one of three possible ending conditions, it looked likely. However. And this is a big however. Our game was the complete opposite of quick. It must have dragged on for hours. Not all of it was the game’s fault. Rules explainers were dragged off. People took breaks to get munchies. And the players were far too conservative. But I will give this game another chance…
