Learning games

This evening I was at 999 Games to learn some new games. Once every month they organize such an evening.

I've learned a couple of games, also some new titles that I had never seen before, such as Solo and Beestenboel.

In the beginning of the evening I had to arrange some paperwork, and then Rutger invited me for a game of Andromeda. It's an older game, but I never took the time to learn it.

After that I asked Jerry if he could refresh my memory on Machiavelli. I've played it before, but I forgot how exactly the game is like.

The next one was Solo, basically the same as the Dutch game called Pesten.

The first new game of the evening: Solo.

Regenboogslang is a game for kids, very easy.

Another kids game: Beestenboel. Quite boring for adults, fun I suppose for kids. Remotely related to Set. Funny how the farmer on the cards is called: Farmer Rutger.

Beestenboel.

The next game, 'Oh Hell' looked more interesting. It is quite similar to 99-en (a game I once almost won a tournament in). We didn't actually play it, but the rules looked easy enough.

Babel, the next game, we played longer. It's quite interesting.

The last game we played was Caesar & Cleopatra.
