I played a 2-player session of Dungeon Petz - I had never heard of the game before but a friend of ours invited for a session. While I am not a big fan of Auction and Bidding, having had to many terrible session of Isle of Skye I was a bit hesitant at first. In the game you are going to grow cute little monsters, supply all their needs and then sell them. The game only consists of 7 turns but still takes some time to play and at least in this first game, it did not feel like I had to min/max from the very first turn. There is a lot going on during each turn where you have to make interesting decision. With each monster added to your care, you will have to supply their needs and care for them. Each level adds more needs as well and so as the game progresses, it becomes more and more challenging to take care of all your pets properly. For me, the game shines in the stage when you assign cards to the needs of the pet. There are four types of cards and depending on the monster it could be it needs 3 red, 2 green, 1 yellow and 1 purple card to take care of them. Behind each type of card you can have different effects, the card might indicate that the animal is trying to bite you, is hungry, wants to play, is full of magic and risks mutating, needs to take a shit or is getting sick. You will have a hand full of cards of these different types and will have to assign them, carefully thinking ahead so that the animal is not getting away, sick or shits all over the place, while fulfilling the auction and selling requirements for this specific turn. Some auctions will grand bonus points for each food consumed or magic played for this monster in this turn. It starts really easy but once you have 3-4 animals of various levels, it can get really challenging. Overall, I like the game and would play it again (maybe with 4 people this time).

Schande, das russisches Gas immernoch in Östereich genutzt wird. Zeit genug um umzustellen oder wenigstens damit anzufangen, gab es.

Hmmm… I never worked nights. When I was younger I would stay up all night but this has since changed and I am much more an early riser. I just lived in Norway for 7 years when the sun would rise at 11 and set at 3pm in the winter. So when it comes down to it, if I can choose when to have an extra hour of daylight, its when I can use it.

In the morning and while I am at work I don’t really care for the conditions outside. By 8 its daylight here no matter the summer or wintertime. But what I care for is going outside in the evening, doing sports in the forest, go cycling and enjoy nature. Its hard doing that when it is dark when I finish working. Other geographic regions might prefer winter time, I personally prefer sommertime

Its rubbish and we should just stay in summertime. Yet another daylight hour stolen in the evening

We were on the fence. We moved to another city and wanted to shed as much as possible. But in the end it was not worth the trouble. Selling a game for 10-15 euros is not really time well invested. At least at the time ;)

I found that selling the game on "public" spaces like ebay or local variants will often be sold at a heavy loss. Unless you are selling something not so common, expect many offers for the same game, often 60% or more reduced. At the moment we still have the space and so decided to hold onto them for now. We have offloaded some of the less played games to our house in the village and only can play those whenever we are there.

What a good idea! Night time recon of minefield, map them all and then plan the assault I guess. Wonder how effective these really are. After all, Russia could start using something similar, too.

Good point! Its from 1 - 4. Best played with 2 - https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/331903/project-eos-rise

Seems like something that could be improvised, I would not spend 3-games on it :D
