Daimyo Rebirth of the Empire

Back in July of 2020 I was looking at this project when it was on Kickstarter thinking I was going to back it. I ended up not doing so and I kind of regretted it. I happened to luck into somebody that was selling a new unopened copy of this locally and picked it up.

First Impressions

When I opened this up, I thought to myself this is a colorful and busy looking game. Started reading the rules and there are some bits of it that remind me a lot of Scythe. looking...

Last night we played Thunderstone for the first time. It has been a game that has been sitting on our shelves for many years and surprisingly enough last night was the first time we had played it.

Been on a bit of a Memoir 44  kick lately.  In the last week Lisa and I have played three games that were all quite different. 

On the 7^th we played a scenario called the battle of Arracourt from the starter set. Lisa took the roll of the Americans and I took the Germans. Lisa played very well and I just couldn’t get my forces together to coordinate a good response. In the end I got pummeled by Lisa 6 medals to 1.

On Easter Sunday I took the role of the Americans to invade Omaha Beach ...
