Just played ALIEN USCSS NOSTROMO - the alien won, after killing everyone fairly early except for Ripley and Lambert. They struggled on, and were 2 emergency protocols from victory when the starship exploded.
ARCHITECTS OF THE WEST KINGDOM is a very fine example of the worker placement genre of board game. It has a lovely-looking board, and does enough different for it to stay in my collection.
Don’t think much of the expansions, though.
Tonight on Substack I’m publishing a huge deep dive into the visual effects of the unfinished 1979 Doctor Who story SHADA - and painstakingly reconstructing EVERY missing model sequence based on rare behind-the-scenes photos and original design drawings.
If you’re fascinated by classic Doctor Who, vintage VFX, or TV production history, this one’s for you.
