3 days of boardgaming with friends this weekend... some highlights:

HellRail - train game with ramming and derailing + special events. Every player is train engineer in Dante's Inferno with goal to deliver as much souls to needed rings as possible. Fast and easy track building game. Quite fun, actually, with good company.

Fortune & Glory - forget LNoE, this one is much better. Discover temples, pass dangers, get artifacts, fight nazis - this game has so much theme it's dripping. 10 games so far, every next one is more epic than previous. Have tried competitive and teams variant, should try the co-op version as well.

Valdora - pure excellence in eurogame. Have played it now 4 times, been last 3 times (by LARGE margin) but still think that it's one of the best current year discoveries. Quality components, fast game play, easy rules - eurogame I'm eager to play anytime. And now to think that it was on shelf almost 2 years, unplayed...

Pacific Typhoon - had 2 games in a row with really boring experience. You can't play this game with people who take it as a strategy game with main goal to win. Luckily third game was better.

Arcana - played only once, with 2p. Very strange experience. During midgame I still had no idea is there any depth at all - or just an bidding for cards. Should try with more players.
