I returned to Mind Space last night on Malts and Meeples YouTube. This is a roll and write game with some fun, specific rules, for scoring each color that you put onto the board. It reminds me of a Sonora or Ganz Schon Clever, that way, but without all of the chaining scoring. But let’s go back to the table and play it again.

Mind Space

The reason I enjoy coming back to a game after a bit is to refresh how much I like it or see how well it holds up. That is the case with Mind Space where I’ve played two games prior to this, both streamed previously. You can find that playthrough here.

Let’s tackle what has held up well and what I still think I’m tripping myself up on. I like the scoring in this game a lot. I think it’s smart in how it gives you various scoring options based on the different colors. Some, I think are better than others, but I might be wrong on that, I’m sure it is well balanced. Well, I say that, I think that with some smart play all of the scoring becomes an option.

The next thing I want to try with the game is multiplayer. What works well with this game as solo game is that you need set of dry erase markers. And this game comes in a small box. So if I play multiplayer, the markers will be shared. Now, Allplay did give an additional set of dry erase markers, but they don’t fit in the box.

But I do think there is some interesting options in multiplayer. Mainly the timing of competing for goals. That is one are, as I said on the stream, I think unless it’s easy you can kind of ignore them. Not to the point where you don’t complete them, but because you don’t know what is going to flip first. You can’t plan properly for them. With multiplayer, I can see if you’re closer than I am to a goal. And if you are, I might pass on that one.

Upcoming Streams

On Monday I stream at 9 PM Central. That is sometimes a bit hit or miss, but that’s the goal. And I do small solo game plays. The schedule is, right now, going to look like gaming every other Monday. A chance to see people in person came up for Monday and as much as I like streaming, it’s good to socialize as well.

On Wednesdays, well, I said that I plan to play at least a few more games of Rogue Angels. This is going to continue how I play my solo campaign games on the channel. The reason for that is with how many campaign games I can play solo, I want to try more. That is at 8 PM Central time for the campaign games.
