Battle Line for Hill 218 creates Race for the Galaxy

Started the evening with Battle Line. It took me a couple of hands to figure out the tactics of this game. You really have to pay attention to what has been played and where. this really helped me in the last couple games, when I could sneak out a couple of flags under Bruce's nose. Score 3-2 for me.

Bruce got his revenge with Battle for Hill 218. A really light game, I was really looking for some sort of deep strategy, but I found so long as you keep the zones near your Base clear, the game will basically end up in a last round battle for a draw. Still a pretty good game for what it is. Score 4-2 Bruce.

Finished up with a quick game of Race for the Galaxy. Bruce started with New Sparta and quickly put together a lot of military planets and 6-point Developments. I had a bunch of Blue planets and made a run at it, but in the end I think he won by 15 points or so.

All in all, a great night! Thanks Bruce.

Saturday is Arkham Horror in all of its glory - 4 games, each with a different expansion.
