\nTimbuktu<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nTonight the Rozmiareks showed up which was nice. And since Shea was there, Roxanna showed up with Dylan. Adam and I were a little late in leaving work which meant we arrived at 6:30. This meant that there were people waiting to be let in. Its a good thing when gaming can start on time! I had originally wanted to play Caylus tonight but switched to Timbuktu when the Rozes picked out Timbuktu to play. This is an interesting game with a light amount of deduction in it. I started out strong by loosing only a couple of my goods to thieves. However I was subjected to the one negative luck-of-the-draw aspect of this game: that is learning that thieves are stealing from position 1 (you draw this card 2\/5ths of the time). This means that you must randomly pick one of the other 4 spots and hope you don’t find the other 1 thief. This happened to me. And also in the latter half of the game, when it was my turn to move, I had no safe spots to move to. This really hurt me and moved me to third place.\n<\/p>\n

\nFairy Tale<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nRoxana showed up and we convinced her to postpone going to Best Buy and buying an iPod mini and instead play a light game. Ed chose Fairy Tale. I was going strong until the last round when no cards came by to help me. Its still a cute, light, and fun game.\n<\/p>\n

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

\nEveryone left except for four trick taking players. Which meant the Tichu smack-down started. I picked Adam as my partner. On the first hand, the other team Tichued and one\/twoed! We were at a disadvantage! However, after that, we dominated them with 6 Tichues (2 from myself) while they got most of the points.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
