This arrived on my doorstep today. Very excited to get this on the table.

Merchant of Venus is an all time favourite of mine. Quirky space themed pick up and deliver game. Played 2 player, Humans (beige) and Qossuth (orange, played by me). The humans did not have a very good game.

So, who wants a Mordheim inspired game from the guy who wrote the rules for Warcry, Games Workshop’s best wargame for years? Because that’s what you can get* if you click this link. * well, the beta rules at any rate.

And so we come to the end. My attempt to only play train games for an extended time was mostly successful. I made a couple exceptions and wrapped up after two weeks instead of the month I’d hoped to do. Finished up with Bus, which I count as a train game, and Hansa Teutonica, one of my exceptions.

Revisited Age of Steam - New England with a different player. Finished the game this time. 190 to 153. Last couple rounds really favored me. Turn 6 I was sure I was going to lose but all the crossing back and forth in my network saved me.

This week I am concluding my ban on non-train games. Queued up are Chicago Express, Age of Steam - New England again, Martian Rails, and Bus. Last night I joined a session of the Walking Dead RPG and the host kindly relocated it to the Railway Museum of Northern Ontario so I count it! 😃

Another old-school crayon rail night. We played 4 player Iron Dragon and didn't get that far through the game mostly due to the delicious rum punch that was on offer. The two new players that joined the game will probably not be requesting another play. 😟 Crayon Rails isn't for everyone I guess.

Got to play the excellent Railways of the Lost Atlas today! (3p) Long game! (6hours! 😅) I tried to go big with a company that could buy an infinite train and that backfired. Lost by $1000. Haha! The expansion is quite fun, variety of the new landmarks and events are very welcomed. Cool game! #18xx

If you managed to stomach the sky-high price of a ticket to a game today, you probably noticed the price-gouging didn’t stop at the stadium entrance. Concessions prices can be double or even triple what they cost just across the street. But there’s a way to crack down.

Two new games to me. Steam Power, a medium weight game of network building and contract fulfillment and AuZtrailia, not really a train game but enough train mechanics for it to qualify imo. Rail building, mining, combat. Both games very fun. Thanks Les and @laurieacheung.bsky.social for teaching!

Age of Steam - New England Had the opportunity to reintroduce a player to AoS who had a bad experience. We used the first few turns to discuss the thinking behind the decisions. The night went slowly and we only got to turn 4 of 8 but by the end my opponent was looking forward to the next game.

A couple of shots from our play of Railways of the Lost Atlas. We made a few mistakes but still had fun. Due to time constraints we ended after cycle 4 instead of 6. Successfully continuing my only train games phase!

The board state at the end of our game of Railways of the Lost Atlas. There's an illegal upgrade in there but we caught it too late to bother changing it so we let it play out.

From now on I’m going to try to remember to take pictures but things have started off fairly strong. Age of Steam Deluxe - Scotland, Ride the Rails - Canada, Irish Gauge, and firm plans to play Railways of the Lost Atlas on Saturday.

I’ve begun a month (or so) of only playing train games. So often because of one persons hesitance, or player count, or any number of other reasons plans to play train games from my collection get shelved in favour of something lighter, or that supports fewer players, or whatever…

Another new map played for Age of Steam Deluxe. This time it was Hungary. A really interactive map because of a special rule that forces you to traverse at least one link of an opponents network during move goods. Made for a very interesting game. I tied for last place 😟.
