Table Top Game Club Week Fourteen and Fifteen: More Cowboys, Pirates, and Wizardry

Sorry for the late update folks.  December 18th began our Christmas break.  That day I began typing this blogpost, but I have only had the chance to pick up where I left off today.  I'll try and make the most of it, so I'll salvage as much from my original post.  These sessions go back a bit, but now that we're back at school, My reports will be a bit more regular (I hope).

The Table Top game club kept the cowboy spirit alive.  We recently played the game Flick 'em Up, and even though I wanted to feature the game Takenoko, the club wanted to try Flick one more time, now including the possibility of horses courtesy of the Stallion Canyon expansion.  Right before the game started, another teacher wandered in to check out the action.  After one look, he was hooked, and it was now even teams of males to females and teachers to students.  We played two games of guys vs girls with teachers and students on both teams.  The guys' lawmen took out the girls' outlaws in the first game, but the girls easily won the second game with some amazing horse manoeuvring.  Poor Takenoko did not get any love, but the return of Flick 'em Up was a great treat.

Friday's open gaming had a good turn-out, so we broke out Libertalia once again.  I wrote about the game on a previous post.  It was an excellent session.

The following week we tried Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards: Duel at Mt. Skullzfyre (love the title). Prior to trying it with the group, I decided to buy the sequel called Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards: Rumble at Castle Tentakill, because apparantly I didn't notice the small warning on the front of the box.  The original game has some cheeky humour, but the sequel has quite a few cards that are rather inappropriate for school.  I don't consider myself a prude, or a supporter of censorship, but the fact is I couldn't justify including cards like the Auto-Erotic Sexsquatch.  Saddly, it was not a good purchase because I didn't feel cofortable with too many of the cards.  For the very same reason, I'm glad I didn't buy the Oatmeal's Exploding Kittens game.  Although it is fun, the theme and imagery on some of the cards just doesn't work for school.  The session itself was fine, as a couple new players were exposed to the original game.

Anyway, now that I'm back at school, expect regular updates once again.  This holiday I managed to pick up The Grizzled, Specter Ops, and The Big Book of Madness.  Here's to a great start to 2016.  Thank you all for reading and supporting the blog.

Cheers
