April was not a strong gaming month for me. Lots of different life stuff took priority. However, I did learn a few games and I’m happy with what I learned.
I learned:
Junk Drawer
Just Deserts
Chateau
When I realized that I wasn’t finding the time or space to learn any new games, I turned to Board Game Arena and learned Just Desserts and Junk Drawer. Then I made the time to learn Chateau.
Board Game Arena isn’t a resource that I use all the time. Not like BSW which I spent hours upon hours at back in the day. But there are times when it’s a space I find really handy.
As I’ve written about before, I’d looked at a prototype of Just Desserts ages ago so actually playing it was good. I found it weak as a game proper but still a fun experience.
As for the other two games, both took a core mechanic that I have seen literally dozens of times (putting shapes on grids) and did something interesting with it. I definitely will keep playing both Junk Drawer and Chateau.
There have been months when I have learned more than three games. However, all three of these games were rewarding.
