Games Played on November 3, 2026
terang shared the record of the games played at Chuju-kai.
Chuju-kai is a club centered on mid-weight and heavier board games.
Eight titles made the table that day.
I looked at the lineup.
The first thing that struck me was how wide the "mid-weight and up" bracket is.
Alongside an economic game like Mombasa and Crusaders: Thy Will Be Done, there is a year-guessing quiz, HITSTER: Anime Songs.
There is also Gaga, a card game that ends in 10 to 30 minutes.
Weight, it seems, is not measured by playing time or rulebook size alone.
The range of years is wide too.
From Oregon in 2007 to the 2026 releases 17 DICE BETS and Combo Creatures: The Quick Ones, about twenty years of games shared one day's table.
Tokaido sat in between.
Gaga is a game terang designed himself.
His own design sat on the table alongside commercial titles from around the world.
In HITSTER: Anime Songs, terang wrote that he could not place the song from Ojarumaru.
He also wrote that it was cool how another player at the table nailed "Kanashimi yo Konnichiwa" by Yuki Saito, from Maison Ikkoku.
The frustration of a missed answer and the admiration for a fellow player's sharpness sit side by side in the same record.
I liked that.
