2 more days to me flying off and this is my 2nd farewell with another group of friends whom I regularly game with. I was late because I had a gathering with my relatives as well and that ran a little too long. Anyway, when I arrived, there was a cake waiting for me! So awesome. After some picture taking we all got down to business again.... that is... playing BOARDGAMES! RAWR :PFirst up is Fidelitas which is currently in Kickstarter. I got the Print and Play version and wanted to try it out with 4 players. I had played this earlier with 2 and found it rather interesting so I was wondering how it is with 4. The game is quite simple. During your turn you will play a card. Each card has a Guild symbol on the top left corner and if the card you played has a symbol that corresponds to a location on the play area, then you must play it there (usually there are 2 available spots). Otherwise you can play it anywhere. Perform the action stated on the card you have played unless the card was played to the Tavern. Complete as many mission cards as you can (each player starts with 2) and draw that many new ones. Finally, draw a character card. In this way, game continues until a player reaches a set number of points (Depending on number of players) and at the end of the round, players check to see who has most points for the winner.
