the_rckScott and I went to the science and nature center yesterday, on our way home from the library, because the other side knocked over the Ingress portals. It was nice to get a small walk in, and we went back and forth a bit.
I'm debating a walk today because it's not too hot and because I suspect I really won't want to take one tomorrow or Wednesday.
I woke with a headache again today. As usual, it went away with my morning tea. I'm still tired as if I didn't sleep properly last night, so a nap is very tempting.
Scott and I finally got around to playing a two player cooperative game that he gave me either last Christmas or for my birthday in 2017. Maybe earlier? It's a complicated game for me because it relies on icons on the cards to shorthand information. I'm bad at parsing those and need to take time to triple check that I'm interpreting them correctly. I'm not sure if it's that I haven't done it often enough or just that my brain doesn't like being made to remember new symbols.
At any rate, it's a fantasy dungeon crawl with fighting monsters. We got extremely lucky early on with a skill for my character that made two of my dice wild with regard to color. We actually won the game, but we were surprised to win, so it wasn't overly easy. We're not sure we followed the rules properly. I got the impression that the rules booklet was kind of poorly organized with a lot of back and forth referents of the 'go to page 3 and read the 4th paragraph then come back here' type.
I had promised Scott that we'd play on Father's Day but then got sick, so this was for Father's Day. We'll likely do it again, but it took us about two hours to finish, so we'll need that much time. The process of play involves skipping a lot of cards as one goes through the encounter deck (to simulate time passing. Each completion of the deck changes things), so the game's likely to be different each time. There are also about half a dozen characters, each with different stats and abilities.
The game can be played solo, too, just with slightly different rules. I don't think it's a thing that would appeal to me. It might to Scott if he didn't have access to the internet (say during an afternoon power outage).
