Game Session

I was limited in my time for this game night as my boy had a baseball game. The group had already played Shadow Hunters, So I played a few rounds of JAB boxing. We then divided into two groups, one playing Small World and I tried out a new game, Last Will. It's a pretty cool game, kind of like the movie Brewster's Millions. You have inherited a portion of an uncle's estate in 19th century England, but according to your uncle's will, the key is you must spend your inheritance in order to gain the full millions that he had. The first player to go bankrupt ends the game, and the winner is the one deepest in debt. Its a great idea, and in many ways goes against the general goal to winning games. You spend each turn by going on boat rides, eating fancy dinners, going to the theater, etc. But you can also bring companions along that spends more money, and even make real estate investments and run them into the ground (buy high, sell low). It has great action selection mechanics, with many interesting and significant decisions. Last Will is not too difficult to learn, and ther theme I think has a general appeal. I really like this one and hope to play it again.
