Solo Challenge Game 2 - Welcome To...

-

The next game I chose to play in my solo challenge was Welcome To Your Perfect Home. Designed by Benoit Turpin, and published by Blue Cocker Games. 2018

Welcome To Your Perfect Home is a flip and write game where a card is flipped from the top of a stack and placed next to it with the effect side up creating a combination House Number/Effect which is written on the players sheet.

In the multiplayer game there are 3 stacks that create 3 different combinations, and each player picks one and must write the house number in an empty house space on one of the three streets of their sheet. The numbers must be placed in ascending order from left to right in the street. A player's chosen combination allows them to perform an effect although its use is optional. Skilful placement of numbers, and the effective use of effects are key to winning the game.

In the solo game, instead of using stacks, the player draws 3 cards and chooses one house number and one effect, and discards the third unused card. The placement of numbers and the use of effects are the same as the multiplayer game. 

I played two games and scored 70 pts in the first game, and 72pts in the second. Ok sores but certainly not the best I've done. (After the fact I realized that I was using a couple of the effects incorrectly which no doubt adversely affected my final score)

Over all a realty fun solo system. It maintains the flavour of the multi-player game, and presents interesting choices while selecting which 2 of the 3 drawn cards to play. Also takes no more than 15 minutes to play.

Will definitely play again.

A Beginning

I'd asked for the beer brewing starter kit for Christmas in 2007 and after almost 3 years of it sitting and gathering dust I finally decided that it was time to brew my first batch of beer. What made me suddenly decide that the time was right? I think that it was the "are you ever going to make beer with that kit I got you for Christmas?" questions from my loving partner, and the need to get off my ass and finally do it! After all it was something that I'd asked for. So I looked at what I had...and it was an interesting array of beer making paraphernalia. The basic kit that I had came with the following items: closed primary fermenter (white plastic 30 litre food grade bucket with a 3 cm hole drilled in the lid) 23 litre glass carboy hydrometer - used to test the alcohol content of the beer test jar syphon rod hose and clamp airlock and bung sanitizing powder big spoon instructions Along with these things I also got a basic 23 litre canned beer kit...in this case it w...

Just a Few Beer Brewing Basics

So to make beer there are four essential ingredients: water, fermentable sugars (traditionally malted barley), hops and yeast. These ingredients are processed and combined according to a recipe. Given the right conditions the yeast will convert the fermentable sugars to alcohol, CO2 (Carbon Dioxide), and the taste that we know as beer. The beer is then bottled and, depending on the type of beer being made, aged from a week to three months. There are three standard methods to making beer and they are ranked in order of complexity: Basic- Malt extract - a "canned" beer kit. Basically a can of pre-hopped malt extract where you add water and stir. Intermediate - Malt extract/Grain - Made with unhopped malt extract, hops, grains and yeast. The grains are steeped in warm water and this water, plus the malt extract is added to the wort which is then boiled for an hour. For most recipes both boiling and finishing hops are added. A little more work but results in a much better beer. A...
