Games - 54 Jones - Something's Coming

The first expansion to the 54 Jones board game is now available on the Yahoo group, via the games section on this site. The original game has turned out to be the best quick board game I've yet devised, fun, with lots of opportunities for the cunning and devious. Plus it works with between 2 and 5 players (yet to try 6), and you can always come back from a poor position to win the game.

Now the first of three planned expansions is out. It is called Something's Coming, and offers some fiendish new tile types and icons to add to the mix with a new end tile that guarantees one player (instead of the chance of everyone not making it in the main game). Favourites include vicious Shunk Flies, Big Cynth, Something's Coming (where the monsters fight back) and Shunk Locks and Flooded Sections.

Of course it is in play testing stage, so things may change a little, but it should be good fun to play and I'll be giving it a whirl later this week and reporting back.

Till then...
