Our group was slow off the start in picking a game.  So when John suggested E &amp; T, Adam latched on like a bulldog.  This was a slower game with not many battles.  Fortunately, I was able to win most of them.  By green leader was kicked out in an internal conflict.  Adam was speeding the game&#8217;s end up by discarding tiles.  He was looking for tiles to support his goals.  Too bad he didn&#8217;t find any.  The game ended with some tight scoring.  Two people were tied for first and two people for second.  It came down to second and third resources.  And I had more than Doug for the win.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"photo\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pictures.hamzy.info\/blog-photo-IMG_2381.jpg\" alt=\"Game #2\"><\/img>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/game\/21441\">Mykerinos<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nJohn also suggested this game.  I think that it was the first time where we played with all of the correct rules.  In the beginning, I was trying to get one of each kind of Patron.  And I was placing men in the Museum so that I would score at least two for each Patron.  John jumped on the 5 spot for Sir Brown.  Towards the end of the game, I switched strategies and went for a lot of Lady Violets.  I secured 4 of them and got Doug to give me another one when he went into the Museum.  This was enough for the win.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"photo\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pictures.hamzy.info\/blog-photo-IMG_2382.jpg\" alt=\"Game #3\"><\/img>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/game\/8217\">San Juan<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDoug left, so we were down to three.  Out came San Juan and Adam latched onto this one to avoid playing any fluff-like game.  I didn&#8217;t do so well in this game.  My special building were not working so well for me.  And when I was finally able to build the big Triumphal arch, I was not able to draw all three monuments.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"photo\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pictures.hamzy.info\/blog-photo-IMG_2383.jpg\" alt=\"Game #4\"><\/img>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nMinibridge\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWe played a couple of hands of minibridge to finish out the night.  John was getting the luck of the draw and was having most of the card points.  Phear my 8 points!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>E &amp; T With four players comes a lot of good gaming options. Our group was slow off the start in picking a game.
