Hello and welcome back to the Wednesday Mash-up…how long has it been since something has gone up on a Wednesday? A while for sure. It’s been a while since I’ve said it, but remember you can click on a picture to switch to a close-up view.
Armello is a digital board game and it is beautiful. One of the things I was most happy about having to upgrade my computer when my old one fried was that I would be able to play it without my computer overheating (that’s how bad my old computer had gotten). Armello features anthropomorphic animals (no appeal there) in a fantasy setting (strike two) and, I’ll repeat because I cannot stress it enough, it’s a board game! Players choose a character from one of five clans: Rabbit, Rat, Wolf, Bear or Bandit. Their chosen champion tries to win the game through having more prestige than all the others when the king dies from the Rot (the most simple way to win), by becoming corrupted by the Rot and defeating the king, by simply defeating the king, or by collecting four spirit stones and ridding the king of the Rot (which still kills him). I’ll talk more about Armello in future installments.
Zosha is a member of the Rat clan. So she’s a rodent and her name starts with a Z. Yup, that had Zoë written all over it. Here she is dressed as Zosha. Her big ears often prove a challenge for whatever costume I want to put her in. Zosha had ear holes in her hat, I had to widen them a fair bit and of course, only the tips of Zoë’s ears poke through.
That’s all for this week. We’ll dig a little deeper into Armello next Wednesday!
