2023 Session Reports

1/11/2023 – Berkshire Gamers Session Report #23-02

2 at Purple Dragon Games for our second 2023 session. It was a near miss as Sean was running a few minutes late, and only Nico was at Purple Dragon when Danny arrived. Seeing no one else, Danny debated even entering the store. Fortunately, he did and our 78th consecutive game night at Purple Dragon Games ensued! A trio of group regulars cancelled at the last minute – real life intruding upon gaming happens.
Steve & Sandy start their road trip back from Florida to Williamstown on Sunday….50/50 whether they arrive back in time for the Wednesday 1/18 session.
Let Sean know your status for January 18 as well as any games you want to bring, lead and/or play.
IN: Sean and Danny
 
ON THE TABLE:
Power Plants (led by Sean) 2022 area control game about magical plants with powers. You are a wizard growing a shared garden of magical plants with your rivals. Each turn, you choose one of the patch tiles from your hand and add it to the growing garden. You can activate the added tile for its dynamic “plant” power or activate all the tiles it touches for their slightly weaker (but still very cool) “grow” powers. As the fields expand, you strategically deploy your sprites to gain control of more and more of the fantastic flora. Will your magical horticulture skills pay off?
Forests of Pangaia (led by Sean) 2022 Kickstarter game with very nice table presence due to the lovely wooden trees. Players are forest spirits charged by the goddess Gaia with growing forests of trees in certain patterns and using them to complete rituals to release Gaia’s life energy, triggering cycles of growth and decay. Grow your forest wisely, contend with other players for territory, and spot the most advantageous moments to perform your rituals, capitalizing on all of the trees in the forest to release the most life energy (your points) by the end of the game.

Coloretto (led by Sean) In this 2003 card game by Michael Schacht, collect huge sets of differently colored chameleon cards – but only in three colors as every color beyond the third will cost you points.  Game play is simple: Either draw a card to play to a row, or take a row of cards to add them to your collection. Once all the rows have been claimed, players start a new round, drawing or taking once again. After the final round, everyone tallies their score, choosing three colors of cards to score positively while any other colors count against you. The player with the high score wins!
