TtT: Mycelia – 2nd April 2024

This Week’s Feature Game: Mycelia

I HATE mushrooms – well, at least eating mushrooms, but you wouldn’t want to eat the mushrooms in Mycelia, just look how cute these little mushrooms are! What I LOVE though, is a good strategic deck building game and that is what Mycleia is – with added bag and pool building!

Looks cute and good – a winning combo for a great boardgame and you could win a copy just by coming along and trying out the game this Tuesday.

Last Week’s Feature Game: Kingmaker

A HUGE strategy wargame, Kingmaker was originally launched in the 1970,s but relaunched via a highly successful crowd-funding campaign. You can play via the “Classic” rules or via the newly added solo or Kingmaker II variants.

Players take on the roles of either side of the War of the Roses (as in the 15th Century Royal rumble rather than the equally combative 1989 Michael Douglas vs Kathleen Turner movie!) Combine political, diplomatic and military tactics – Use nobles to bolster your forces and amass enough troops to conquer towns and capture Royal pieces or eliminate rival Royals on your way to crowning a King.

Kingmaker will make for an awesome prize, but is quite complex. So, we are planning on running a few games and inviting players to an hour long taster of the game, so that we can get everyone interested to try it on the night. Try it our and your could win one of the biggest prizes we have ever given away at Tabletop Tuesday.

Please note that the bar has moved location (from Dalston) and is now nearer Stoke Newington station.
