This is a nice party play game, but is a bit lost in a competitive environment. Still fun, but I'm not sure why I choose a 2 player game.

My opponent conceded. But I had 2 monsters and 1 more laid down, not entriely sure my opponent knew what to do... :S

8 - 1 : Hive (Win)

Hive is a great 2 player game, a real little gem.

A fairly standard straight forward win. Pinned a couple of pieces, bettle on top then could place piece directly next to honey bee. Beetle climbs down for the win.

8 -2 Seasons (lost)

Hmm, not a big fan of seasons, although this game was pretty good, very tense with crystal lock downs.

My opponent though deserved the win, totally outplayed, I got lucky getting a lot of points on the last turn.

9 - 2 : Bombay (win)

Bombay is not really much of a game, or at least I don't understand why it's meant to be fun.
Probably makes a good family game.

10 - 2 : Jump Gate. (win)

Same goes for jump gate, it's a filler game at best. Theme is pretty good, could be 1 expansion away from a killer game, who knows...

11 - 2 : Hawaii (win).

woah, big scalp, over double my ELO rating. Very closely fought, I managed to get the resource gainers early which just about lead me to be able to stay 1 step ahead, 1st time playing with the PELE god and it was a game winner I think.

I love Hawaii, very balanced game, just a bit of luck sometimes with the tile numbers, but otherwise a real good fun medium sized game, just don't talk to Tom Vassal about the fiddlyness of the counters.

11 - 2 - 1 : Kalah (draw)

The ancient game of Kalah. Well if it's a very old game and it's still being played then it must be good!

I have a good record and I'm not sure why, one of my first few games I learnt a tactic to keep hole#1 empty and now I throw all the stones over to my opponent at the start, and constantly score each turn, and my opponent is forced to send them back. Probably a beginner tactic but has worked well for me so far.

I think I made a small error right at the end when I should have played from hole#4 with 4 stones and didn't for some reason.

11 - 3 - 1 : DragonHeart (lost)

Dragonheart is a nice straightforward card game, has some strategy but you can be beaten by the card draw. It's not a serious-serious game but very enjoyable game. I would only really play this real-time, because you need to have a feel for what's already been played and who took what points to gauge who's in the lead. Anyway....

In this instance though I totally failed. I never had any kind of position and what I did have I gave away. Well played underrated opponent!

Tash-Kalar, K2, and Gosu I need to figure out properly what's going on....

12 - 4 - 1 : Neutreeko (win)

Neutreeko is a better game than it first appears, logic based and VERY simple to understand, I like it a lot, but you can easily get bored by repetitive plays. I suggest learning this with someone of similar ability.

This game - I beat him into submission, and by beat I mean bored him into submission ;)
