So this past weekend I had the pleasure of attending a small board gaming convention in Hudson, OH called the Groundhog Day Gaming Retreat. This was my second time in attendance and I got to meet up with quite a few friends and strangers to do what I love most: play board games. In this brief post, I'm going to talk about the games that I got to play and offer some mini-reviews of them. I'm going to restrict this post to some of the "lighter" games that I got to play as opposed to the super complex games I usually adore. Here we go!
Cover Your A$$ets | This quick card game was a total surprise to me. In the game, you are trying to accumulate the most money by putting down pairs of cards. Instead of putting down a pair, you can attempt to steal someone else's pair by playing another card of that same type. However, once you have put down a second pair, players can only steal the most recent pair you have played, hence Cover Your Assets. Silly little game without a lot of strategy, but a good filler game none-the-less. Great for people who aren't really into board games, but like games like Skipbo or Uno. |
