One of the things I quickly realised when I decided that 52 Games was a viable project was that I was certainly going to end up casting my net wide for things to include. And here I go with game two - my first game of darts of 2022.
I haven't played darts in decades. But we have been watching a lot of 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine' recently, and as anyone who's watched it knows, the mid-series bromance between O'Brien and Bashir is very much driven by playing darts in Quark's bar. So my wife thought that it would be fun to buy me a cheap electronic dart-board for Christmas.
I've never owned a dart-board before. Maya and I put it up on Boxing Day in the granny flat (Maya's current home) above one of the cupboards with my figures in (those white boxes each mostly contain a HOTT army).

It involves a board AND a game, which you could argue makes it a boardgame 😊. Nice one….👍🏼
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how you would find 52 different games. Well played, sir.
ReplyDeleteI'm *still* wondering how I'm going to find 52, but I did a skim through my blog and noted that I managed around 40 different games (of varying types) last year without trying too hard, so maybe it's not impossible.
DeleteI was worried about the HOTT armies until I read the darts were soft-tip! They may be harder to hit the target with, but it beats having lots of little holes in your wall (assuming you miss the target completely as often as i do).
ReplyDeleteI'm happy that the darts won't damage the armies - they're pretty tame blunt plastic tips. They do leave small dents in the wall, and we're going to put up a backing in the near future to protect it a little better.
