For the first time we played with the Thunder's Edge Expansion. It was fun but opening up the Void is a lot harder than I thought it would be. You have to roll a 1 or a 10 and there are only a total of 6 rolls allowed in the game so it's only a 20% chance it comes out. I'm thinking next time to increase the odds to 40% next time, just to see how it plays.
In our final game of the year my nephew won without a competition this time and I knew it after the first round. EVERYONE helped him out and gave him an early 2 point lead. From their my chess player instincts enacted and I could see where there was no way to stop him. I announced that to the group that he had won to everyone's laughter and ridicule. Only to be proven right by the 6th round (which is the exact round I said he'd win in)
Everyone was stunned. But my nephew knew what I knew and was telling people by the end of the 4th round that the game was over they just didn't know it.
Overall however, it was a fun expansion. My only regret was that we were one game short of tying the record for most plays in one year at 10. I thought FOR SURE we were going to break that record back in August when we'd completed our 8th game. But Thanksgiving came without a game, as did last week. (we usually play 2 games around Christmas break, sometimes 3) So unless by some miracle I have a few guys coming over later tonight, the run ends at 9.
Still not a bad way to go out in 2025!
