I have been known to play a game or two in my day. As a kid there was a game store near where my first job was. I’d get my paycheck, run to get it cashed at the grocery store, then run back to see what new games were there. OK, I may have also stopped by the candy shop for gummi bears, but most of my money went to games. I remember playing a different table top games and a bunch of different role playing games. Recently I’ve tried to get back into gaming and I’ve taken the first step- I buy games. but I tend not to play them that often. Last week I had the chance to play King of New York- a game in which you are a giant monster trying to survive and gain fame to be the “King of New York.” this was for a spot in the national tournament at GenCon in August. I won the game that mattered and lost every other game after that. Today was a little different my local game shop (Saltire Games) was having an “Asmoday” an event from Asmodee Games. Today’s was the game “Cash ‘n Guns” which if you couldn’t tell from the title deals with cash and guns… basically whoever can survive and accumulate the most loot wins. It’s a fun game but not for everyone and you really need more than four people to make it interesting. So today’s MINIon comes from that game, think Reservoir Dogs, but a cute and cuddly version, with foam guns.
After that I played “Villainy” Which I actually own, but have never played. Now I have… still lost, but I never worry about winning- competition tends to bring out a side of me I don’t like much.
