Board Games

1. Mobile Suit Gundam

My wife and I started this game first among the three board game, and it was not her style but I enjoyed it as a Gundam fan. It is tactical wargame for two players, and it was not that difficult to follow the instructions because I was familiar with the story and the mobile suits. There are several turn sequence, Command/ Reinforcement/ Action/ Adjustment phase, and the unit which represents a single mobile suit, ship, aircraft or vehicle, might have four values(Hit/Mobility/Shoot Attack/Melee Attack) or less. It was also fun to have command cards for game spice. I beat my wife, by crushing her unit within an hour. This game shows proper combination of wargame and gundam characters.

2. Unbound: Endless War

It was hard to catch up the game, due to the complication of rules. My wife and I read several times to understand the rules, probably there was a language barrier and it was the strategic and territorial game which she did not enjoy that much normally. Fortunately, there was not any circumstance that we both lose, and my wife got lose once again (she is terrible player in every games, not only for the board games) because she did not utilize the movement points by the end of the turn. I wished the hex had more variety of its shape, like triangle or square for surprising points.

3. Journey of Sheep

It is just intriguing due to the chips and theme, reminding the combination of casino chips and adorable theme. The result of the game was close call, and I eventually won. Luckily, I used the ‘Fire Pasture Law’ by taking the green chips from my wife and I my wife got stuck because of the appearance of the ‘Great Wolf’ which makes the ‘Hunter’ chips useless. I collected more sheep chips and prizes than my wife to win. I thought this game would be more fun if there were four people in the game, which seems more proper.
