Link: A secret history of Dominion

Yes I know I'll get back to posting boardgame stuff very soon; work and watching Space Battleship Yamato 2199 got in the way. (See the other blog)
In the meantime, very interesting history of the development of Dominion over at Board Game Geek; written by Donald X Vaccarino. I love tracking things back to their origins so go check it out!

What is dead may never die

Well it's May and I am getting nerdy about LCG regional season. We are lucky that in Melbourne Good Games is running tournies for all three of the main compedative LCGs published at the moment by FFG. These things do take me back to my days playing Magic, or Mythos or L5R or Raw Deal... 

One thing I do enjoy is the equal availability of the card pool, everyone can easily get everything they want or need (and as it's an LCG you know which cards you get when you buy a pack) and there are no Ultra Rare or special promos that you need to chase down.

So first up in the A Game of Thrones on Sunday, I'm going to try to blog my matches and decklists, should be fun. AGoT is a bit unique in that it has two modes of play, Joust (one on one) and Melee (multiplayer) which are both very different games to play. The Regional involves both so two decks need to be built.
I am lending my medeocre deck building skills to the old men of the sea; House Greyjoy. I'll be sporting my classy resin housecard and all the Ironborn I can muster. Break a leg!
