Slightly belated post.
D & I were only able to attend 3 sessions of BoD, and even these were hampered by her back pain :( We managed to both be in the same game for two of them.
Between arriving and session start we participated in a game of Between Two Cities (board game), which neither of us had played before. It was short with an interesting mechanic, would play again.
Session 2 we played Underdogs of the Underdark, a Dungeon World adventure where the party were a group of F-String gladiators thrust into the ring after their sponsors's main team was uncharacteristically slaughtered by their opponents. My barbarian got to have fun literally throwing various PCs and NPCs around the ring, and we managed to foil the necromancer who was using ring politics to drive his competitors for dead bodies (including our sponsor) out of business and win the grand sportsperson award by saving our final opponents from the fiery death he had planned for them.
Session 3 Daena LARPed and I played in the first of the D&D 5E Dragon Queen scenarios (Hoard of the). I had reasonable fun with my character but the game as a whole moved much slower than I would have expected from the experienced DM. The promoted Dwarven Forge terrain was pretty but didn't really add anything.
Session 5 we played Horsing Around, a D&D 5 game where we played the horses of the royal guard, off to rescue the princess because our knights had stopped and gotten drunk at the first tavern. Since we all had the same base character sheet with a little customisation in terms of skills this was a roleplay heavy game and quite fun, although I'm not sure how awake anyone at the table actually was by this point.
After I played in a 3 no 4 no 3 player game of Seven Wonders which I probably shouldn't have organised, given how many times I managed to cock up putting together the right combination of expansion cards / guilds into the age decks.
Early on D & I were given a surprise engagement present (thanks![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
avron) of Seven Wonders Duel (ie the two player version). We broke it out earlier this week; it lends itself to a more brutal style of play than we are really keen on as a couple so I suspect Splendor will continue to be our favourite.
