Lately, Hilary and I have been on a card game kick.We played two games of Ascension. During our first game, I got a little confused about the constructs. I kept discarding them up after one play and shuffling them back into the deck. I also kept destroying instead of discarding my constructs when Hilary would play a power card against me. After losing my 8 point construct, I reviewed the game terminology in the rule book. There is a BIG difference between destroying and discarding. I won both games.
After somewhat bribing our 8 year old son, we played a couple games of For Sale. Hilary bought me the game as a joke because I've been watching the housing flip and Love it or List it shows lately and because I mentioned we needed more short filler games. For Sale fit the bill perfectly. Our son won the first game and I won the second.
Today, we played DC Deck Building Game which to me was almost identical to Ascension except for the superhero theme. The locations card were a lot like the construct cards from Ascension. Wonder Woman beat Batman 60 to 49.
