A perfect number for many games.  And a hard number to have many times.  So I was happy.  I suggested E&amp;T and everyone agreed.  We had one new player so an explination of the rules was required.  I started out, but when someone else started saying how I should talk about this other thing first, I just let that other person finish explaining the rules.  Less stress that way.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI just could not get the tiles I wanted.  Green was very scarce for me.  And when I finally got some, all the spots to place that had many green were well defended.  This late into the game I wanted to start an external conflict over green to get caught up.  And then Mike started a battle between myself and John over only black which I lost.  So then I was hurting on the black score.  Sigh.  Still a good game.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"photo\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pictures.hamzy.info\/blog-photo-10062005(002).jpg\" alt=\"Game #3\"><\/img>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/game\/147\">Mc Multi<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd after that brain burner, I suggested Mc Multi.  This game suffered from a horrible economy.  The consumer market was low for most of the game.  This hurt Jon as he tried a different strategy and went for all gas stations on his island and buying gas from the markets to sell into the consumer market.  At the end of the game, I needed to roll some good numbers in order to sell of my equipment.  Unfortunately I rolled poorly.  The scores were rather close.  I was pipped by one dollar!  And the winner was ahead by 56 dollars!  This game could have beed determined by dice rolls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trendy We started with the typical filler while we waited for more people to show up.
