FWC thoughts

Still keen on FWC with an Epic flavour. So, after a random thought this week, I've thrown together a few formation cards to facilitate the selection of standard companies/squads/etc for a battlegroup.
It's fun thinking up combos for cards, but makes me realise I need to paint up a number more stands.

Friday night Who

Nostalgia for Doctor Who continues, and Kr chose to play the Doctor Who Family Trivia game. We've blinged it up a bit with some of the minifigs that are available.
Simple game: roll dice, move, answer questions and so on. A nice mechanic where the center flips over and can trap you.
Kn continues his roll, winning both games. Jammy kid!

Pandemic - closure

Well, we got back to the game after a few evenings. Kr stood in for L (who had an early night) with the 'Epidemiologist', and Kn and I picked up with the 'Medic' and 'Liaison Officer' respectively.
We did our best, found the cure for 'Zombies' (Black), but this time we ran out of player cards - which means the clock ran out and we hadn't worked fast enough to stop the pandemic.

There was disappointment, but right away we started discussing what we could do differently next time. So the enthusiasm remains high, which is cool.

The 'In the Lab' expansion is interesting, adding some nice flavour to the game - but I think you need to be careful of it taking extra turns to discover cures. At our skill level, we may need to make sure that we have more players on the board to keep everything ticking over.

Great game though. I'm a fan.
