With seven of us this week, Julia, Mark W and I started with Fragor Games' release from last year, Poseidon's Kingdom. This features the anthill building mechanic, previously used in Antics, and a very cool tidal wave which when tipped spills dice all over the board. There are some interesting ideas in this one, although it doesn't quite meet the high expectations I had for it. Julia spent a bit too long building her reef and made it too compact and high, hence she found herself too far behind and unable to catch up. I loaded the wave up a couple of times with lots of my dice only to find they landed on low numbers when the wave broke. However, Mark W did always seem one step ahead of me, although it could have been turned around with the bonuses at the end. It wasn't to be though and Mark took the victory.
