<![CDATA[Let’s keep catching up on #boardgames!]]>Let’s keep catching up on ! I’ve been on a kick, so before my last game of Godai, I finally played Sands of Shurax for the first time! I heard it was one of the more complex iterations, so I rolled a D4 to pick a city-state to align with and used their victory condition as my goal from the get-go.

Victory achieved for Tarri! I destroyed all the other city-states and defeated the Level 8 boss that was teleporting me to all the irradiated spaces in the wastes. I probably didn’t see like 90% of this game. Didn’t bother with crystals, didn’t play scarabs, didn’t do the black pyramid, only visited half the cities, only used caravans strictly for transport, did practically no city-state missions…just focused on exploring enough of the wastes to give me enough time to power up and focusing on the Tarri’s Arena events. (1/2)

Overall I really enjoyed this one. It was really thematic, the Ravager popping up all over the wastes is a fun timer for the game, and there’s just so much you can sink you teeth into if you want. A fantastic hexcrawl sandbox! (2/2)
