Game Night! - 15 May 2015

Woohoo - another game night!

Didn't get a lot of games in as it was a short game night.  Still, had a lot of fun so that's a definite tick in the win column!

Aliens: This time it's war
We started out the night with a quick 2 player game of Aliens: TTIW.  I was the marines again while my friend played the Aliens.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to pull many Ops cards and this allowed my friend to wipe out my marines with alarming ease.  To an extent, this is one of the problems of the game - it is very heavily reliant on luck and there isn't much you can do to mitigate that (unlike say, CCGs where you can build your deck to have more card draw etc).  Unfortunately, this makes it 2 wins in a row for my friend.
>:(

Really need to put a stop to his run the next time we play!

Yomi
We wrapped up with Yomi - our current favourite.

I continued with Setsuki while my friend tried out a new character - Onimaru.  Onimaru is an attack heavy character who can't do combo's but is very card efficient in doing damage to make up for it.  As a result, he doesn't need to win combat too often in order to kill off other characters - particularly for Setsuki as her health is only 70.

This resulted in a very nervy game as each move had to be carefully plotted to try and outguess what card he was going to play.

Ultimately, I managed to out-play my opponent and racked up 2 wins.
