Tidying

[bugshaw]

Spending a bit of time sorting things out, partly in a fit of fin d'annee, partly in preparation for busy month, partly to physically and mentally clear the decks so I can do some bigger and more interesting things in the new year. Was a bit horrified to find an extra 6" heap of miscellaneous papers while looking for a bank statement, but sorted everything out into thirty piles. Then had to re-heap them hurriedly to make space for boardgames.

Had an enjoyable afternoon of gaming, and have now written up the crib sheet for multiplayer Primordial Soup so I can see straight away how many amoebas you get for 3/4/5/6-player games, which cubes you eat, and which set(s) of genes are relevant, without having to cross-check small print in two rule sets. I recall Arkham Horror can be a single player game, I might try to play through that a couple of times in short bursts instead of the 4-6 hour marathons it can take. Though I might find it plays a lot more quickly solo (i.e. I might die really quickly).

I tried playing Arkham Horror solo once, but I tried running four characters instead of just one, as if for a four-player game. Given it's a completely cooperative game, that works perfectly well.

I hadn't thought of that, it would indeed work :-)
