A few dusty games made it out this month.
The most dusty was Blokus, last played in January 2009. I'm not the biggest fan of abstracts but I don't turn them down either (my wife likes them a lot - but she's also better at them than me!). We had just finished a game of Ubongo with another couple and we decided to keep with the shape theme. I thought I might find it a little dull, being a game I've had a while and played quite a bit back in the day, but this play at least was great fun, with some big blocks thrown down, some sneaky moves. A full table of 4 (an amount I have played it the least) did help that I think.
Next most dusty was BGG-beloved Puerto Rico, with 17 months of dust upon its box (actually my copy still has the dust as it was somebody's else game we played with). Not because we had the snappy new version, it was just suggested for a game night and we played it like it was 2004 again. It is one of my 10s, the game that brought me to BGG in fact. So I enjoyed myself. We were teaching/re-teaching to 2 at the table which made it run a little long, but it was still a very enjoyable game and I hope the appetite is whetted for some more visits to the island.
Say Anything was next most dusty, just over a year at 14 months. I don't won this and it is usually in the game bag when the folks that do own it come over, so I am surprised it made it longer than a year. It was fun, but I do fear we may have peaked on this game, as one particular game left us in such helpless piles of laughter that it is difficult to re-capture such a moment. Nevertheless, recommended for the creative party gamer!
Another surprise was Small World, which has a year of dust on it. It has been popular with the game group and as a 2 player, so a little surprising we haven't gotten it on the table since last March. Too little time, too many games syndrome, I suppose. I think i even won for once, so that means we won't be playing it again for a while.

Blokus as well as Blokus Duo are pretty common finds and great abstract games. If you are only going to play 2 Players then go with Travel Blokus/Blokus Duo instead of the larger Blokus

While the blokus 3d has the problem of the hight rule. This is fairly straight forward. This is a great example of an easy game for them.
Not to many different components, straight forward rules and short gameplay

(8 plays in 2005, now 14 plays total) I got bored of this one and gave it away, however Scrabblette is a fan and we've been through Blokus Trigon, Blokus Duo and Blokus 3D (Rumis) as well. Of those, I only still have Rumis. However we have made converts amongst Scrabblette's family.

Picked up Blokus at a ValVil that usually has nothing (the one in Langley, if you're keeping track). Complete, looks never-played, lovely, and $2.99. I've already promised it to the children of some friends of the family.

Last of the Goodwill Outlet duds today. I got excited when I saw the lid to this on the floor. Quickly found the board and bottom and rules, and then the search for the pieces. A complete set has 84 - I could only find 64. Oh well. A man needs spare Blokus parts, right. I'll post on the Parts list.
(Side Note: Also hit Value Village and found a ton of fabric for my wife. She will be happy. )

Another one of these. There was an awful lot of rattling in the box, so I'm not very hopeful it is complete. However, I only need one piece to complete last week's find and then I can farm out these parts to other Geeks.
$5.00 @ local church thrift.

Games we played
Blokus x3 Last Will x1 Scrabble x1
We have been enjoying playing Blokus, but I will have to give it back to my the school age programme I am leaving now. I asked my supervisor to buy it for the kids. I am glad they will be able to enjoy it after I leave them - kind of legacy I leave for them.
Last Will: I plan to play it a few more times this week, and see how I will feel about the cards and the things you can do in the game.

So I have these pretty pieces and I've got to put them on the board connected but not orthogonally connected. Why? Well I guess it wouldnt hurt to try . . .
