Games Played

Of late I have managed to play a few games with the family during our isolation, and my daughter has also talked me into possibly playing some new ones, which she then duly purchased. I admit it did not take much arm bending to be convinced.

First up, we played a few games of Power Ranges: Heros of the Grid. This is a cross between a board game and a miniatures game, with some very well made and detailed figures, some of which are quite large.

 

Next up, one of the new games, A Song of Ice and Fire. This one is a more traditional miniatures game, based in the Game of Thrones universe. One of the features I like about this game is the ability for non-combatant characters such as Sansa or Cersei to have an effect on the battlefield by the use of a separate board of tactical options, representing their political manipulations.

Of the two games, I prefer A Song of Ice and Fire, but both are well thought out and of high quality, however Power Rangers is definitely more one for fans of the series.

Next up should be the other new game - Star Wars Legion:Clone Wars, but I will leave that for a future blog post.

A While Ago

Back at the beginning of the year I mentioned that my family bought me a new Crealty Ender-3 3D printer for Christmas. As I am behind in updates on this blog, I thought I would add a quick post about the printer.

So from this...

To this..

To finally this...

All up, the build process took an afternoon. I had some initial leveling issues, however these have been overcome. I have since added an after market glass bed and at some point in the future I will also replace the extruder, but for now it prints well, and am very happy with it.
