Modern Board Games at El Santiago on Monday Nights
๐ฌ PUBLIC SERVICE ๐ฌ
๐ฌ ANNOUNCEMENT! ๐ฌ The Villages has a ๐๐จ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ ๐๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ which meets regularly every Monday at 6PM! Whatโs different about this group of game-playing folks? We play more ๐ฆ๐จ๐๐๐ซ๐ง board games that you may or may not have heard of! Such games require more ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐ข๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ and less luck and most have been published in the last 10-15 years, some are even very recent! How these games are played might vary widely from what youโre used toโsome of them are even ๐๐จ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ games where you donโt have to ๐๐๐๐ญ other players to win and have a good time, or suffer ๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐๐ญ๐๐ง and branded a loser of the game. Very few of our games are of the old style where several people are playing and then halfway through the game, one or more players are ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ and have nothing else to do. They are all ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ and allow you to sharpen your wits and ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ by decision making and critical thinking with just enough chance to keep you on your toes (at least where your brain is concerned)! This is not to say that we donโt play many light, ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฒ ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ฌ as well. The important thing to know is that we like to play these games with new people and all club members are ready and willing to ๐ญ๐๐๐๐ก ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ ๐ง๐๐ฐ ๐ ๐๐ฆ๐ that they know and love. Last Monday, one table struggled through immense hard luck, playing a coop game called Sub Terra where players move their tokens around a board and explore a cave system to find their way out before the batteries in the flashlights are dead and ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฟ๐๐ป ๐ผ๐๐. Although we failed miserably, we had a lot of fun. To simulate the exploration, the Sub Terra board is created as-you-go by each person playing one or more ๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ฌ as the game progresses that connect to the existing tunnels and may sometimes reveal hazards such as cave-ins or flooding. It is ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฅ like no game of monopoly ever has been! We also played one of the older classic games: Carcassonne published in 2000. In Carcassonne you ๐๐ฅ๐ฌ๐จ lay tiles which shape the medieval landscape of France. Each player claims cities, monasteries and farms to score points. Another table played Century Spice Road (published in 2017) in which players are caravan leaders who travel the famed silk road to deliver spices to the far reaches of the continent for fame and glory. This game uses cards and spice tokens which allow you to build your caravan to claim points and win the game. These are only a few examples of the types of games we usually play. Some other games have included Kingdom Builder, Ticket to Ride, Terraforming Mars, Clank!, Munchkin, Small World, Power Grid, Wingspan, and many others. We are on again at our usual time ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐๐ฒ!! ๐๐๐: Monday October 17 ๐๐๐๐: 6:00PM - Close ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: El Santiago Recreation Center, Tiki Hut room All are welcome! Come bring your favorite modern board game or learn to play one of ours! We teach new people how to play new games every week!! |
