Played “Mutant Chronicles”

We played “Mutant Chronicles” today. My husband owned it, and played it many years ago. I had never really heard of it before today. (I knew we had a bunch of game in the closet under the stairs, but I didn’t have awareness of the game titles he brought.) 🙂

We dug it out of the closet, and set it up. The artwork is amazing, and detailed. There is a cool arch thingy that look awesome, but sort of gets in the way of actually playing (we set it to the side and didn’t use it at all.)

You beat bad guys up before they beat you up. Basically. There are minis (miniature sculptures) and custom six sided dice. There are a few floor tiles, and walls drawn on them. Simple, competitive, and a bit blood thirsty.

I might play it again when there are 5 players (the recommended number.) Otherwise I don’t really think it’s my kind of game.

Played “In A Pickle”

“In a Pickle” is a fun word game. My husband said he likes this type of word game because there isn’t any spelling required :).

We played it two players, with the alternate rules as suggested for two players. The only trouble we had was when one of us challenged the other (a game mechanic when the player being challenged must defend their play), there were just the two of us to figure it out. Can’t really vote our way to any conclusion.

It’s a fun simple game, and didn’t require lots of time or brain power. We played two games in about 45 minutes. I’d be happy to play it again, with two or more players.

WIP Games

‘Avamel the Scavenger’, and ‘Down Time Adventures’ are both on their way to my house. I ordered the prototypes, and anxiously await their arrival.

‘RAWR i’m a monster’ is not yet ready for prototype, but is mostly done. All the artwork is complete, and uploaded, and the Rules are being finessed. The packaging is the least complete part, and that should be done in the next few days.

Hopefully this is the first of many posts, discussing the progress of Watyrfall Productions board games. 🙂
