Ruling the Board: Shaw Gaming 2/2/13: Castle Panic




We got the gang together once again at the Shaw abode for a night of gaming.  Paul, Doug, and I joined Cindy and Kelly and new comers for gaming Simo and Daniela for some fun games and good food.

The first game up was Castle Panic.  I had played it once before and had a decent idea of how everything worked, so the setup was quick and easy and it didn't take long for everyone to get into the game.

We started off well, beating down the monsters, but things turned bad for us around the middle of the game.  

We hit some bad tiles and before we knew it, a troll was storming the castles.  We drew in the hopes of getting to one of the couple of cards that could save us before he wiped us out, but after reshuffling the deck, the cards did not come.

After looking through, the first card to help us was nearly halfway through the deck, we weren’t even close.

This was my first defeat in a game that usually plays pretty easy, but it goes to show that if you let the wrong creature slip in, it can route you in the end.

Final Thoughts:

This was a fun game that just didn't end very well for us.  It was fun and a good way to start the night off by getting everyone involved and having fun.
