First we played Bang! The bullet. It went down with dramatic flair. An outlaw and the renegade were killed early, leaving the sheriff and remaining outlaw left to battle it out. The dynamite blew me up and the Sheriff won.
Jamie had just gotten Xia: legends of a drift system off of amazon. We had both missed the Kickstarter campaign and heard about it though Dice Tower. We played a quick intro game to familiarize ourselves then launched into a 10 point game.
This games comes with painted miniatures to match each battle board. It uses Tetris like pieces inside the ship interiors to limit what you can carry. I have a decent engine (grey z piece) and a basic missile (yellow I piece) but couldn't fit blasters of a shield. The two purple cubes are cargo and I had two other (empty) cargo spaces remaining.
Some pics from the game...
It started out with 4 tiles and as we explored, it began to sprawl...
This was the final map layout:

This is a sandbox style game. Basically you can do whatever you want. You can explore new territories, complete missions, buy and sell cargo, or go pirate and try to destroy other ships. There are also 3 NPC ships flying around. One is a merchant, one is and outlaw hunting good ships, one is an enforcer hunting outlaws.
All in all it was a great game an I can't wait to play more of it.
Lastly we finished off with Tsuro of the seas. It ended with me laying the tile that killed both my ship and Vanessa's. As you can see, it was quite the voyage.
