It’s been a long time since I last played any boardgames. Last Sunday was the one which broke the record, with me joining Muggs, Plainsunset and Ling for games at Minds cafe. They initially wanted to play a few rounds at the pool table, but I suggested boardgames instead.

Back at Minds cafe, we started off with suggestions by Muggs – Rumis. Supposedly a game used by Mensa, it’s a fun and deceptively simple game to learn, but needs great thought and a bit of intuition to be good at it. Two rounds of it was what we had.

Following that we played some similar game, of which the name still eludes me. Something similar to blockus. Quite fun, but I think I prefer Rumis. It’s in 3D; more challenging. Unfortunately for us, we only managed to play 3 rounds in total. Well, I guess everyone needs to be totally in the game and think quick. Maybe we should bring a stopwatch and set the countdown timer to 1 minute!

After the extremely quick 2 hours, we headed to the nearby billiards saloon for a few games of pool. It was good, but I think I prefer boardgames better.
