TGI Friday!


There has been a 7 year gap since my previous play of Friday. I needed to reread the whole rulebook when I picked up the game again recently. I have written about the game before (in 2012!), so I won't repeat. You can read the write-up here


Lately I am playing boardgames mostly online, so it's good to play a physical game once in a while so that I don't lose touch with my roots. Friday is a solo game, so I don't get to sit opposite a physical opponent. However it still feels nice to be shuffling cards and fiddling with game components. Even the chore of packing the game away makes me feel good. Feels human. 


I played two games, and lost both. In the first game I didn't even manage to reach the pirates. I was already eaten by wild animals on the island. I did a little better in the second game. I reached the pirates, and even defeated the first one. Unfortunately the second one got me. 


This was the pirate I lost to. I had too few life points left - not enough to draw more cards to beat the pirate.
