Game Day 11/06/2008

Game #1

Duck Dealer

First up, a new Splotter game called Duck Dealer. I was very lucky to get this. It sold out in Essen rather quickly. This is an interesting game of building up a bunch of action points and then spending them all in a burst of activity. The only negative aspect to this game is that the said burst is awful hard to keep track of in a way that guarantees undoing it quickly and correctly. Other than that one bit, it is a great game that I look forward to playing.

Game #2

Dominion

Next up is Dominion. A deck building game. At some point in the game, you want to focus on victory points. But they take up space in your hand by acting as dead weight.

I Voted!

I voted

Because of my two week trip, I was forced to vote today. Man, the place was busy. There was a line of fourty plus people. But, first, I had to find my voting place since I usually vote early at the public library. It was also interesting that almost everyone took the paper voting option. There was only one electronic voting booth.

Wurst Fest redux

Group

A bunch of us went down to Wurst Fest today. We arrived a little early and my stomach was growling as I waited…

Four wursts

Wurst fest is about the German beer and German sausages: four different kinds (including one sweet). And at least four different kinds of beers to wash it down with.

Rox took a picture of me taking a picture of sausages. God, how I hate the crappy quality of cell phone cameras.

potato pancakes
deep fried oreos

Potato pancakes with applesauce and deep-fried oreos also stopped by inside my tummy.

Chapel broke down and bought a fest-hat.
