Oh Meg, thank goodness Tessa is going to be ok.  Hopefully all the sweet loving from you, your folks and her brother will make her feel better.  I think I might have stepped on my folks' dog's foot just now.  Let him out to go do his thing and when he came back in, I bent down to pick up a leaf and he let a yelp out all of a sudden.  He can't see very well so don't know if he was too close and I just got him a bit.  He's resting on the bed so hope he is ok.

On a side note to the BFG stuff, a friend of mine on FB (who I met thru BFG) posted a message to Paul Thelan directly (lots of us are his friends on FB) asking if he still was in charge at Big Fish as it had really gone downhill and was making her so sad.  She mentioned being a member for years and always the games worked and now there were just a ton of tech issues and lots of other stuff.  I posted a note to her that I was also disappointed with the bonus punch situation and had cancelled twice in the last six months and this would probably be my final cancellation.  I get a copy of responses to posts in my email and when I clicked on it to see if there were any more, it took me to a "Content Unavailable" screen so that got removed really quickly.  Oh well, I have enough games for two lifetimes and looking at the recent offerings today, they are really going downhill.  I got my Madame Fate game and some in the recent BOGO so will use my coupons and then it's adios amigos for good.

Meg, I'm so sorry you and your family have been through so much recently.  Your mum's op and your increased pain, and now the trauma of your dog being run over and her brother seeing it happen!    I'll be thinking of you all and wishing both your mum and Tessa a speedy recovery.
 

I just finished The Far Kingdoms.  You can't really call it a M3 game...it has a bit of everything in it.  You have HO scenes which are the usual kind, then they also have fragmented HO scenes, and the M3 boards usually drop down when you are trying to gain entrance to a particular place so when you finish the M3 board, the place opens up for you.  Sometimes you make matches and zap the creatures blocking the way.

I have to say some of the boards are not as easy as it looks.  The icons also change frequently.  There are also puzzles and some do take a while to complete, afer several tries.  The graphics are brightly colored but sharp and clear in the HO scenes.  It isn't a very long game which is why I could finish it so quickly.  On the whole, very enjoyable, much to my surprise.  I don't know if it will appeal to others but I liked it.

ETA: I forgot to mention that you also get to play solitaire puzzles and I enjoyed that very much.  

Next M3 I will play is Undiscovered.

{{{{ MEG & MOM & TESSA }}}  Hope all of you heal well.

I'll have to check back but I don't think I've finished ONE game this month.  But I bought games. Yikes!  More to finish.

barre -- I really enjoyed THE FAR KINGDOM.  It had everything (and more) that I look for in a good game that isn't a CE.  After the 1st LAGOONa took me so long I've shied away from the 2nd.  I do own it (of course!).

I have finished Fall of the New Age CE. I liked it very much  The graphics, sound and cut-scenes were very good. I had to use the SG a few times. It was fun to dress Carla in different disguises.
