Yesterday we played labyrinth and phantoms.

Once again we fought over a mega-city. We ended up with 3 followers each on it so that was 58 points all for nothing. If it had been left uncompleted that would have lost me (Blue) and my oldest daughter (Black) around 25 points each.

Black and Red (my 6 year old) ended up sharing the farm.

I, Blue,  however won the combined labyrinth.

But when the points were all counted up it was Red (127), Blue (119), Black (116).  So at least the labyrinth winner did not win labyrinth.

Today I played Fortune Teller and Phantoms with my 6 year old.

I won by 18 points. This included the largest city worth 28 points which I won by 3 followers to 2.

The 6 year old came up with a clever move all by herself where she both set up a farmer join and locked in her fortune teller so she had a choice right to the end of the game. Obviously all of my fortune tellers had been tracked down and sent to me in a coffin! She won the main farm worth 30 points by 4 farmers to 1. Once she did that I had to work to stop my second farmer from being joined on.

Today we played phantoms, gold mines and fortune teller.




The six year-old, Red, started off by pouring everything into farmers. So immediately I thought I'd look elsewhere for points. For most of the game I, Blue,  had a fortune teller but I hardly ever seemed to find what I was looking for. Red twice managed to lock up my gold and monks, however by concentrating my gold and meeples and with two fortune tellers I managed to rescue all but one gold bar. Meanwhile Black had neutralised the big city and taken over the big farm. When we counted up the points Black had beaten me by 6 points.

Then we remembered about the gold. When we counted that up I had beaten Black by 10 points. Of course! Collecting gold had been my strategy all along.

Today we played phantoms, halflings and Solazian walls.


It was a closely fought game which I won narrowly.

Yesterday we played our selection of town gates. I felt I had pretty bad luck but there were some interesting moments. Town gates basically both facilitate blocking and unblocking manoeuvres.
