\nBig Three<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nWhile we waited for Jon to show up, we showed Doug Big Three. I don’t think that he was impressed…\n<\/p>\n

\n\"Game<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

\nRace for the Galaxy<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nOur first real game was Race for the Galaxy. This time, I started off with Old Earth. And it looked like I should be focusing on a trading\/shipping strategy. So I tried that out. However, I started off too slow. It took me a while to get my first planet, an alien robotic factory (cost 6), down. I was able to get down replicant robots (-2 settle) and terraforming robots (1 more card when settle). It seemed that I was quite the robotic -philiac person.\n<\/p>\n

\nNo one was producing. That hurt me. And I noticed that it took three turns in order to get a high value card down (produce, trade, develop\/settle). I couldn’t really latch on to other people’s selections to help me shorten that cycle down. Also, I didn’t really get down good level 6 development cards. The Galactic Rennaissance and the Galactic Federation didn’t give me huge bonuses. But it was enough to get me 2nd place.\n<\/p>\n

\nTichu<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nIt has been a while since we have played Tichu. So sad. I started off with some bad luck. On my first hand, I random-wished my partner’s two-bomb. But he still called and made Tichu. In first three hands, I did not see an Ace. So on the fourth hand, when I had a risky Tichu hand, I went for it. I wished for an Ace to try and promote my hand a little bit. But I called out Jon’s Ace.\n<\/p>\n

\nFor the last hand, if we called GrandTichu, made it, and scored more than 35 points we would win. Unfortunately, that was not the case.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
