Here be knights of the round table :)

Another interesting night @ mind cafe, we played 2 new games and they were pretty good...


Shadows Over Camelot:A company of knights is a game based on the King Arthur and the Knights of the round table. There are 2 types of game. One with a traitor knight amongst the players or one without. As beginners, we played without. So as a team, we are suppose to fight against the game itself. To do that we have to put more white swords (gained from winning "quests" around the game board) so that when the round table is filled with swords, there are more white than black. There are 2 other ways where we can lose and that is if all the knights (i.e. players) lose their health (we start with 4) OR if the castle is beseiged with 12 seige engines (i.e. catapults). Pretty long game but once we have more white swords then it gets a bit boring. With the "traitor" element will be more fun i tink.


A Ticket To Ride is a game that involves connecting cities via "purchasing" of railroad tracks and gaining points by number of tracks you have gained + completing missions to connect cities. If however you hold a mission card AND you don't finish the mission, u deduct points instead. This is rather fast paced and fun. Will probably easy to convert to a pc game version though....

anyone interested to try? :P
