Games Only YOU have played in April 2014

So, who's been an April Fool this month? Only fools play popular games, such as Dominion and Agricola. It's the ones only YOU have played that mark you out as a gentleman or lady of real class.
The instructions are, as always:
Quote: Look at your plays for the month of April, and then check out the games and see if you can find any games where you are currently the solitary logger of a play for April (or if the other loggers were actually in the same game session with you). Use your common sense in order to make the search faster. Obviously things like Dominion, Magic, etc. will have plenty of people playing them. Note: expansions that only you logged are fine, feel free to add them as well.
Then share any comments you might have. Are we missing something? How could this happen? What is your opinion of the game?

Psst - I've also run out of Geekgold. Any donations will be passed back on to deserving additions to the list!

Two plays of this delightfully barmy kids' game, and not one player under the age of 30: one game at home and one with the games group.
Think Jenga-meets-Bausack with a faint hint of Loopin' Louie, and you'd be close.

Also this word game: a straight cross between Scrabble and Pompeji. Highly recommended to anyone who can track down a copy.
I believe I am technically undefeated and have also written the definitive solo demo game.

I'm also going to cheat a little and add this one which I played right at the end of March, after I posted the March list.
A smart little semi-deduction and dice-action-placement for two, with minimal P&P requirements and a deck of cards.

Found this at a crazy low price so we decided to see what Uno with tiles would be like. In all honesty, the card version is better. Still this may come out again at some point just because it's different.

Not the Pathfinder you normally hear about! After playing this I will never play Battleship EVER AGAIN. This was actually quite a blast and I'm sure I'll be playing this quite a bit in the future.

I'm back with this one. Still a fun expansion I wish wasn't print-and-play.

Got a couple this month. This one, Fields of Glory: Oudenarde & Malplaquet, and TV Wars. All with video coverage.
Been doing a decent amount of fairly rare stuff, but too many people have been playing them themselves due to the vids.

Didn't care much for it... Ace of Aces without all the good parts. But only $5 at a swap meet!

This one kind of made me go "Hmmmm". Lots of interesting ideas but would probably need some polish if it were to be successful today.

Yes! I can add something to the list! Not a good game, though. Too luck-dependant.

Bit of a demo session/playtest with the designer. Not widely available yet. Fun bit of Yahtzee-style piratey action.

We got this game this at Toys r Us this month when it was on sale. It is a fun family game, but the poor components mean this will have a somewhat limited shelf life.
We played it twice this month and those are the only two recorded plays

Excellent clever tiny pure abstract strategy game: more to it than meets the eye. And needs only one set of Looney pyramids.

13 plays face to face - finally have my own copy, and even got my older daugher mildly interested.

I won't repeat my lengthy comment on this game here - suffice it to say that my kids like it enough to warrant five plays of it this month so far.

An ancient Klaus Teuber game which I had owned for a long time without ever playing it. Now I did, and I had fun. Probably not enough fun to replay it, though; it is a cool idea but takes to long for my taste.
