We've nearly made it to the middle of September, but I'm still living in the month of August for today's post! More specifically, we are going to take a look at my Board Game Arena plays for the month of August 2024.
August saw me play a total of 65 games with 22 victories, good for about a 33.8 winning percentage. That might not sound great, but I played a lot more three and four-player games in August which means I shouldn't expect a 50% winning percentage!
Here's what I got to the (virtual) table in August:
No surprise at all to see Lost Ruins of Arnak still at the top of my most-played list of games! I also played Isle of Trains: All Aboard a total of ten times, just enough to regain my world #1 ranking for the current season of that game!
New games that I tried this month included the following:
Path of Civilization:
This is a civilization-themed game but in reality, it is more of a racing game with a whole bunch of different tracks to compete on. Despite playing this one 9 times last month, I still wouldn't say that I am any sort of expert on the game. That said, I am definitely getting better at it which is kind of the mark of a good game (I don't usually enjoy games if I can't get better at them through repeated play).
River Valley Glassworks:
This is a fun, breezy family-weight game about picking up pieces of glass and fitting them onto your board in a point-scoring puzzle game. There's not a ton to this game, but I found it enjoyable (though to be fair, I think the game loses something without the tactile nature of the game pieces).
Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilization:
Probably the "heaviest" game I've played on Board Game Arena, this one is a proper card-based civilization game with all of the trappings you'd expect (wonders to build, leaders to lead, and wars to fight). With only five plays under my belt in August, I can report that I went 0-for-5 against blogger buddy Bubbasbums. He took me to the proverbial woodshed over and over, but I enjoyed the game and kept coming back for more. This is a game that I hope to continue to play as it feels like one that I will really enjoy once I get a better grasp on the timing and flow of things.
That's a wrap for the past month in virtual board gaming. As always, I'm up for learning almost any game on BGA so if you have a favorite you'd like to play feel free to hit me up. I also don't mind losing repeatedly so long as I can see myself improving (no matter how slowly)!
