The other four of us decided to try out the Lamont Brothers' new race game, Snow Tails. I think people were a bit surprised that there was more to the game than first appeared to be the case. There is a nice hand management aspect to the game and, controlling your sled is not as straightforward as it seems. If you mess up a move, it can be pretty difficult to recover although the bonus moves do favour those who are lagging behind (although it's not always advisable to take the bonus). Tom and I were fighting it out for first place but, whereas Tom didn't have the best cards to use at the end, I had kept back some helpful cards to allow me to cross the line just a bit ahead. Mark K just managed to keep his sled together although this had looked doubtful early on. As a fan of race games, I liked this quite a bit, although Tom felt that you were still dependent on drawing the right cards and marked his rating down accordingly.
