(with apologies to the Tolkien estate)
There is a house, a merry old house
In Hazlemere, near Wycombe
And there they play a lot of games
Some are different, some the same
They all take turns to pick ‘em.
Now, Richard likes a railway game
With rolling stock and shares
He’d Steam or 18C-2-C
All weekend if we let him be
And chuff away his cares.
Here’s Iain, he loves games with decks
Like GtR and Race
He’ll Thunderstone from dusk to dawn
And TCGs to him are porn
See how he’s red of face!
Ray Fong likes games of depth and skill
Considered, with precision
At least you’ll have the time to chow
Or catch the latest sci-fi show
While he makes a decision.
Then Tony rounds the numbers off
He loves all things Agric’
He’d happily farm the whole week through
Take reed, wood, stone, clay, animals too
What an obsessive p…erson.
On Monday night we Game of Throne-d
With pre-constructed Decks
This Living Card Game’s lots of fun
With challenges for everyone
Interactive and complex.
You put out people to your board
Conditions…places too
Then pick a role to boost your turn
See how much money you can earn
And pick a fight or two
Attacking others is the key
In up to three smart ways
Combat kills your played-out peeps
Intrigue: cards, and Power: veeps
Then comes a clean-up phase.
First to fifteen power’s the goal
(We never made the end)
With Ray ahead, and one hour passed,
We called the game for some repast
We’ll deffo play again.
We followed that by drafting pies
That Ray had brought for dinner
We took our turn at pastry pickin’
I plumped for stilton cheese and chicken
So every one’s a winner!
The evening rounded off with ‘Gric
That most respected game
With Czech and Austro and Komplex
We drafted over-powered decks
I swear than Tony came.
50-48-40-40 – that’s one weird lookin’ wench, and no mistake!
