If spatial relations are not your thing, you’re not alone. I have always had trouble seeing what shape an unfolded piece of paper would make. But I also know that I can pack a car with luggage or don’t have navigational challenges. So, games like Tangram City are good ways for me to practice the challenges that I have with spatial relations. 



We also played several games that were quick hitters and enjoyable. Vampire Village has the elements in a game that we like with card passing and then card assignment. Having Unmatched bring in some classic literature was fun and makes us reflect to our high school days as we reminder Shakespeare or what little remember from the plays. 



Then the new GMT title Vijayanagar was so nice. In my opinion, a COIN style game that seemed to move at a great pace and still kept the elements that make COIN so popular. 



Thanks for listening and appreciate all the support. The post RDTN Episode 322: Vijayanagara, Lunar Rush, Unmatched: Slings & Arrows, Vampire Village, Tangram City, Pass Pass, Tetrarchia first appeared on Rolling Dice & Taking Names.

One of our guilty pleasures is doing an upcoming movie review with our good buddies Dan and Chris. But let’s be truthful, Marty needs others on the show that can be insightful on movies because without them, it would just be me listening to him talk about movies. 



And when all the banter is done, we then do the draft of which ones we think will make the most at the box office. I you have the time, we would love to hear your thoughts over on the Discord channel.



Thanks for listening and back to games in the next episode. The post RDTN Episode 320 – Screening, Streaming, or Steaming – Summer Movies 2024 first appeared on Rolling Dice & Taking Names.
