We then attempted Aladdin's Dragons Card Game, the card game version of the board game where the cards form the board. Confused? Now Nige tends to poo poo card games but he admitted afterwards that there was more to this one than he expected. It's basically a worker placement game where you are trying to gain gems that can then be traded in for artefacts - the aim being to collect the most of the fifteen artefacts available in the game. Now Guy and Mark G were the only ones to compete for the magic spells and this proved critical as Guy was able to use one of these to grab a critical second Aladdin's Lamp artefact, which act as tie breakers in the event of an equal number of artefacts at game-end. As it turned out, three of us ended up with four artefacts but Guy had the most lamps to claim victory. |
