Game played: Lost Temple ( White Goblin Games ) BGG Id: 102835

With eight of us this week, I thought we'd start off with Lost Temple, the new Bruno Faidutti game which is essentially Citadels: The Race Game. Players take turns picking one of the nine roles for a round and then these are carried out in numerical order. The aim is to progress through the jungle and be the first to reach the Lost Temple. As expected with a Bruno game, there is a lot of chaos with players' fortunes swinging wildly as the game progresses. Mark K, Pete and Steve were having a ding dong battle to try and finish last. Eventually, three or four players were within sight of the finishing line and, unfortunately, Julia managed to outguess herself in picking her role for the final turn and Mark W was able to creep past her for the win.

I enjoyed Lost Temple quite a bit but playing with eight players was just a bit too many and made the game last a bit longer than was ideal. I suspect the sweet spot will turn out to be around five players but I think it will be fun with a wide range of numbers.
