Game Night

It has been over a year since we sat down for in-person dinner and games with our friends. Saturday marked the first weekend everyone was fully vaccinated so we celebrated with dinner and games. 

I only have a few photos as we were having too much fun playing games and catching up. This is the board for Canvas, a card drafting strategy game. It was quick to learn and kept us entertained. The base game is available on Amazon (link at the end of the post). 

This is a view of the table when we played Mountain Goats. This was a cute, fun, and quick game that would be great to ease someone into your game night fun. Simply roll the dice and move your mountain goat to gain victory points. Straightforward and quick. We also played two more games from the same publisher: GPS Board Game and Sequoia. We liked Sequoia but would pass on GPS. The giant rocket spinner is cute but the gameplay is very simplistic. You can buy these on Amazon; links at the bottom of the post. 

We particularly enjoyed The Crew, a cooperative, trick-taking game that had us engaged for a couple hours. We did it all on my neoprene tabletop mat. The mat makes it so much easier to pick up cards and tokens. It also keeps those dice from bouncing too much and ending up on the floor. According to Amazon, the one I bought a couple years ago is no longer available. I have linked it below to start your search for one of your own. 

It was so great to share food with friends again.
