We had a board game night with the team at Sortera. I was going to take photos of us playing, but forgot. Then I was going to take photos of us at dinner, but forgot. Too busy enjoying it.

We used to play a lot at home, but nowadays Ingrid and Adrian tend to be busy with their friends, and board games with me isn’t a priority. Tretton37 also had board game nights, but that and all other social events fell by the wayside long before the company went under. I’ve been missing board games – it was great to play again.

Dream On is a great warm-up game; everyone I’ve played it with has enjoyed it. The first round is always chaos, people throwing down random cards and then realizing the error of their ways in phase two. The same happened today – we got twice as many points in round two as in round one.

Mysterium is another perennial favourite. Such a well-designed game, and the vision cards always amaze me with their many layers of potential interpretation.
