  1. 7 out of 10

    Over five rounds, players collect a number of items by placing their three pawns on an ever-increasing number of places to put them -- but there's a catch! Each players also gets two cards which affect the scores, and you can use one pawn to peek at the others'. It's a game of strategy that is affected by the random dealing of the cards. You will find yourself using the back of the manual to understand what each spot does until you gain familiarity with the game, though. PLUS: challenge level, variety MINUS: the need of reference, theme isn't super strong

  2. 6 out of 10

    Amusingly translatey location names. I didn't feel especially compelled to look at others' cards, but I didn't win, so what do I know? Overall, I'm inclined to think that I'd like one with fewer moving parts, but not TOO many. The owner suggested Sid Sackson's "Haggle" for that - hm.

  3. 8.5 out of 10

    My favorite game of BGG con 2014. OWACON is a fine deduction game and feels like Archipelago Express which is an almost unequivocally good thing.

The world is in ruin. Humankind is but a distant memory, and only now have you awoken. You are an automaton in possession of several fragments that once held the will of the human race. The other fragments lie in the hands of your fellow automatons. You must investigate and piece together these fragments so that you alone may fulfill the final will of humanity.

Code of Nine — first released as Old World And Code Of Nine or OWACON — is a card-based board game in which the goal is to puzzle together long-gone memories. Players battle for victory points (VPs), but what will generate VPs is decided by eight so-called memory cards that are dealt at the start of the game, with each player getting to look at only two of these.

Each round, players choose actions that gain certain items such as coins, books, statues or legacies, or perhaps to peek at the other players’ memory cards.

After five rounds, the score is calculated, and whoever has the most points wins.
