This past Monday was a gorgeous day to take a few games “Off The Charts”. After taking care of some necessary chores we packed a few games in our backpacks and headed out.
A short hike along the Clackamas River brought us to a perfect spot for some spirited gaming.

| Villages Of Valeriaa Daily Magic Games |
The first game that hit the table was Villages Of Valeria, a big village-building card game in a small box.
As usual, Lynn used some powerful Adventurers to outscore me. Whenever we play this game the score always end up close, and this one was no different.
Honshu is a map building card game for 2 to 5 players that we’ve played mostly in the 4-player mode. After playing we found the 2-player variant really works and my massive forests and lakes proved to be enough for a narrow win.

Finally we moved our table to a little shadier spot for a game of Pyramids, a clever card drafting and necropolis building card game I had the best pyramid score, but Lynn pulled away with a ton of glyph icons in the right structures to steal the win. Maybe I should have kept the table in the sun.

| Pyramids Iello |
All of three of these games are small box games that make it easy to take anywhere and play. They are available in our Demo Games Library for you to come in and play.
