![]() ![]() The game comes with 18 cards, so after you finish your quick 10-minute game, you’re all set to play another with the 9 other cards you separated out. In Orchard, you’re laying 9 down cards and overlapping them in order to grow your fruit harvest, and you have mini dice to keep track of your crop size. It’s a good quick game to play if you’re waiting for someone at a bar or restaurant, and it’s about the size of a deck of playing cards. What a neat game! I normally don’t play solo games but I liked playing this. I then learned a solitaire game called Orchard. You can either score groups of birds now, or score sets of flowers at the end of the game, based on your perspective from the garden. This visual mechanism to the game is pretty clever! I love the poker chip pieces in Seikatsu. I heard that newer editions aren’t like this? You draw chips from a bag and place it onto the center board. I just adore the components of this game! My version, and the Arizona Game Fair library version, has these acrylic poker chips that are used during this tile-laying game. So colorful and puzzly! Favelas was surprisingly a crunchy puzzle! During your turn though, you can also increase or decrease the pips on a die so that one color can be more or less valuable during scoring. You’re stacking tiles onto your player board and each round, you score for the color majorities, which are dictated by dice rolled at the start of each round. This cute tile-laying game is based on the iconic buildings in Rio de Janeiro. Next up was Favelas, a game I’ve always wanted to play. If you have a chip, you can refuse a card. First up was No Thanks! Always a fun filler and a quick teach! In No Thanks, each card is worth the number that’s printed on it, and you’re trying to have the lowest score in the game. I wanted to take a photo before the trading madness began!Īfter the game, I took a break for lunch and then played a series of shorter games while waiting for friends to finish up their game. I love this game so much, even if I never do well in it! It’s the perfect con game, where a large group of folks can dedicate a few hours respectfully yelling at each other. I dusted off my giant tweezers to run a 7P game of space trading and bartering on Friday morning. Nonetheless, I got lots of gaming in - old games and new ones! Friday I opened my new copy of Sidereal Confluence and dusted out my giant tweezers for the occasion.Īn Arizona convention wouldn’t be complete without a game of Sidereal Confluence. The previous week, I had been at Dice Tower West and was unable to take that many days off again. The convention was held on March 10-13, 2022, but I ended up attending just that Friday through Sunday. This year, the Arizona Game Fair came back in full force, and it was just awesome to see so many familiar faces again in person! ![]() ![]() The previous one had been scheduled for March 2020, but we all know what happened two years ago. It’s been over three years since the last Arizona Game Fair. ![]()
