September was one of the heaviest months I’d had in years, both for gaming and learning games. October was inevitably going to be a lot lighter and adulting made sure of it.
I learned:
One for Sorrow
Paper Pinball - Boss Fight
I try and learn a Roll and Write each month. I like the medium and it is a Godsend to Print and Play. Boss Fight is the fifteenth paper pinball game I’ve learned over the course of several years so it’s kind of cheat to count it as learning a new game. That said, it’s what I had the time for and I do enjoy the games.
One for Sorrow was a good find. There are times when In-Hand games are what you have the space for and I think One for Sorrow has a lot of potential.
I also found myself breaking out Potato Carrot Tomato, particularly as a lunch time game. It’s not a very good game but it does let my fidget and turn my brain off. Its far from the only game like that. It’s just the flavor I’ve been in the mood for lately.
Quite frankly, November might be better for gaming but because of Thanksgiving and Buttonshy has a couple of playtests coming up. And if it isn’t, I’ll still get some gaming in.
