I would say that May was a busy month without a lot of room for learning games but I think that’s basically been my norm for the year. Eh, that’s how adulting works. (And, let’s be honest, if it really bothered me, I could rearrange my priorities. And I don’t because I’m happy focusing on other family stuff)
I learned:
Paper Putt
Dungeon Spot
It’s Rotten
I honestly was prepared for Paper Putt to be the only game I learned in May. However, I regularly check out Alexander Shen’s offerings and tried out some newer games.
Dungeon Spot is dungeon crawl that uses Spot It as its engine. It’s honestly more of a fun idea than a good game. (Rory’s Story Cubes is another ‘kiddy’ game that has been used an an engine for RPG play and is frankly more suited for it)
It’s Rotten, however, proved to be a very happy find. It’s a super simple, very basic Tetris clone but it’s perfect for casual clipboard play on the couch so I know it will see regular play.
Yes, one of the ideals of gaming is long, immersive games but finding games that fit into the time you do have is pretty amazing.
