Had some board gaming time with my friends last weekend.
Played Dominion with Seaside and Dark Ages, ended up playing a really interesting game where I attacked my opponent's deck with pirate ships but she had too many provinces already. Although the game turned into a duchy-buying game because the gold was cleaned out.
Played Village for the first time, ended up I think 3rd out of 5 in a pretty close game. It's a worker-placement type game where you try to build and sell market goods, travel to neighboring towns, and move family members up in the church and town council. Being a first-timer, I didn't really have a strategy but started putting together moves later in the game.
And the biggie: Twilight Struggle as the Americans. The Soviets didn't pull any punches, holding Defectors in their hand so they could hit me with two Red Scares in the headline phase. I held through the early game, but Asia and the Middle East started collapsing fast. Managed to neutralize Fidel, though, and start breaking in Europe, pushing my opponent from a 14 VP lead down to 6. I thought I still had good odds to win if I took some chances in the Americas, Southeast Asia, and Africa to get to the late-game Europe victory. However, I gambled heavily by playing the Arab-Israeli War for realignments in Mexico and Panama to save my game, but I lost Israel on a natural 6 and then the Soviets rolled 3 6's in a row to hold onto Central America. Soviets won at the start of the 6th turn since they had full control of the Middle East, gaining them 12 points or something ridiculous like that.
