Day #11 - Running for Relics!!
Games Played: Relic Runner
So on our finally teaching day Mr Josh taught us how to play Relic Runners!
Relic Runners is a "exploration" game, where you take an adventurer and explore different ruins to collect victory points and relics! Every action you take costs food, so you'll need to constantly go back to base camp to restock. You also are able to set up and move pathways which allow you to "run" across the board. In our game of 4 players we had to collect nine relics as a whole in order to finish the game.
As for coming up with a strategy for playing the game, it seems somewhat based on what sort of "tiles" you get from your ruins. For instance, I got one that gave me extra points every time i "discovered" victory points. So while, I only collected 2 low scoring relics, I almost won because I had gotten so many victory points from exploration. What I can say is once you have a "set" strategy you need to stick with it. If you are focused on just moving your paths around, then keep doing that. If you are focused on having a ton of food, then keep doing that. But don't try to keep moving paths and have a ton of food, or you won't be able to do much in the game.
After class, Sarah and I talked over a couple points on "Tactician." We made and printed off cards, as well as have a basic board to play on. So it's really starting to come together. I can't wait to demo it off next week!
Until Next Time
