Another post on recent wargaming in my gaming blog.
In addition to those battles,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gr_c17 and I tried out Python Fluxx and Agricola last night. As with regular Fluxx and other rule-changing games like Uno, the former is OK but not stellar as a two-player game. It would be much better with several players (or, as B suggested, with several drinks...)
Agricola proved most enjoyable. Despite its complicated processes, we learned and played the simpler ("family") version of the game to a photo-finish conclusion (he garnered exactly one more victory point than I did!) As a resource/action allocation game, it has far more stuff to do than you can ever accomplish, huge numbers of options (even without the minor improvements and occupations cards), and clearly a wealth of replay value. I *really* look forward to playing this again, especially with more people but one on one would be fine too!
