Lazy Sunday Session - Conquest of Paradise and Bloodborne

Nic R had the house to himself (well Charlie did, he allowed Nic to stay), so a lazy Sunday session was organised.

I was keen to play Conquest of Paradise, particularly as it had been around 18 months since I last played. While Nic would be GMing of sorts and hosting, the other players (Wes, Jack G and Ara H) would be exploring the big blue. As a four player game I (as Samoa) was stuck right next to Jack (as Tonga), while Wes and Ara were further away to the east.


We played a lot more cordially than last time (not a single round of combat!), which I put down to Ara not wanting to attack as he sheepishly didn't want to ask on what the rules/mechanics were. Instead he tried to sail to South America (as you do).


Ara did successfully get there and bring back kumara (sweet potatoes), we were all cheering when he made it. That non-confrontational strategy put him in front and ultimately won him the game.


It was interesting to see the game with different players play out completely different to last time. A lot of fun. I then had a little time left before dinner plans, so I took part in a short game of Bloodborne.


Definitely a game of easily being able to stab your team in the back, but we were all still too friendly - cooperating and sending players to regenerate that were on low health when needed.
