Another play of Gears of War, this time with 4 players. Thrilled by the success we had last time, decided to choose the next mission - although for one of the players it was the first encounter with this game. Luckily GoW has quite simple rules, so there was some hesitation only during first couple of moves. This mission was pretty tough, with some almost-unkillable blind berserker rumbling in the house... but team spirit was high and co-op really worked, so we were able to survive the mission by slaying the berserker. It took ca 3 hours to finish it but it was time well spent. Excellent game I'd say... usually co-op games suffer from one player starting dictating the moves for others - but I'm not sure if it would be even possible with GoW.

Ghost Stories is another co-op I played recently... it was long time ago when we played it last time - and I forgot the rule sheet home, but we managed to remind the important bits of rules. Still, we were killed in pretty short time - but life in a temple is supposed to be hard :)

And finally... Doom: The Boardgame. Descent's predecessor with game balance a lot in overlord's favour. We played it with some mods to simplify the life for marines... but nevertheless it was pretty ugly experience for them. Also 2 of the 3 marines played this game first time and therefore most of the time instead of fulfilling the mission enjoyed themselves by killing all the monsters in range. Overlord was glad to see that as he knew that ammo tokens are quite hard to get later :) Anyway, long story short: marines found the blue key, instead of red one, but it was broken... and on a way back they were fragged in some nasty ways. Enjoyable game for overlord, hopefully also for marines :)
