Then there were two...

Thursday games evening and the Professor was detained by work commitments while the rest of the group were still in Germany playing games after Essen "Spieltage" which left me and Crabro again.


We decided not to play Dominant Species as planned but to go back to the list of games recently acquired from The Works and try some more.

We first played Oregon, which I had played with the Goldstone Gamers but Crabro hadn't seen. Like me, Crabro was taken with the simple fun of the game and we played it twice before moving on to an unplayed game from the list: Airships.

As expected it was simple and quick to play and perhaps a filler more than a meaty main game.

We both enjoyed the novelty of buying the opportunity to use different combinations of dice (in red, black and white) by using dice scores to buy cards (enhancements to our airship factory) offering more dice or bonuses and eventually acquiring airships and victory points by the same means.

It was attractive and fast. We agreed that the two games were "keepers"
