A game that I haven’t played in a while, Fleet The Dice Game needed a little bit of a refresher, but I got it to the table on Malts and Meeples last night. Join me as I play a bigger roll and write game. And see how all of the interactions in the game work as you draft dice and go out fishing.

The Game – Fleet The Dice Game

This is a roll and write game that I like, but it always feels like it’s a bit behind where I want it to be. It is a game with a of combos, but I feel like I’ve yet to really figure out my best strategy and optimize how I get to all of those combos. And some of that is because I’ve played it solo.

I think as a solo game it works pretty well. The concept is simple and unlike Trek 12 where there is an AI, you don’t have to completely control another character. Instead the AI is basically them blocking you from getting to places. In particular when you want to get more licenses and more boats.

The downside of the AI is that it locks you out of things. So if I wanted to fully go into a shrimp boat strategy, I might not be able to. Or if I wanted to launch research boats, now that might get blocked off for me. And I think you can create more combos as you play with other players.

I also think the game lacks some on strategy when you play solo. Yes, you want to optimize what you are doing every time you play. But when you play solo, the AI is very predictable on what dice it takes. So I think there is strategy I have yet to find when you play it with others. Mainly, what strategy is around blocking players from getting what they want.

Upcoming Streams

So on Wednesday, it is going to be more Lands of Galzyr at 8 PM Central. You can get notified when I go live here. Join in on the adventures of Bumir across Galzyr and see if this story game is one that works well for you.

And then on Monday, I don’t know wh at game it will be yet. But I hope to pick another new, or newer to me game, off of the shelf and play it. I want to knock out some games that haven’t tried before. Or it might be going back to some old classics. It’s one of those let’s wait and see.
