Agricola @ Mage Cafe 12 Nov 08
Ξ November 12th, 2008 | → | ∇ Boardgames |
It is telling when a boardgame like Agricola hits the table always instead of new games like Hamburgum and Through the Ages. It is so good that it satisfies any gaming desires.
Sharks like aanemesis, rob and wong played this game so often at Mage Cafe that I doubt anyone in Malaysia can best them. As far as I can tell, their record plays are ’several’ times a week.
A 3-p game with rob and aanemesis in which I got creamed. Food production was hard and resources were scarce for me. A tougher game than 5-p.
rob & aanemesis, Agricola ’sharks’ of Mage Cafe dissecting game moves.
2nd game with wong joining in. The biggest shark of them all steamrolled over all competition.
Mage Cafe seemed to be hitting a stride with its business model. Weekday nights still see a multitude of students/gamers playing boardgames there. Tables behind rob were playing Tomb and Gloom.
Gamers on sofas doing Citadels. Mage Cafe is here to stay. While aanemesis and myself left after the 2nd game, rob and wong played the 3rd game of Agricola with Tracey. I shudder to think of their playing frequency…

Ah, so Agricola has effectively replaced Caylus and Tigris & Euphrates? There were similar gameplay frequencies with those games too!

Yes well, before Caylus, there was Race for the Galaxy as well. Agricola is still the in thing at the moment.
