Disc Golf 03/04/2006

Trouble #1
Trouble #2
Trouble #3

Today was special in that this is the first time that Mike played with me in a couple of months. It was also special in that I was having a really off day for some reason. I could not putt well. My team-mates would throw better than me. And 7 was particularly brutal for me since I threw it into the water both times. Sigh… Still fun to be out and about though…

Game Day 03/02/2006

Game #1

Indonesia

Since we had 8 people tonight, I scheduled a long game of Indonesia. After going through all the effort of ordering this game, I definately want to play it. So I was happy tonight. And we played the game rather quickly (3 hours). I did not research mergers in this game and instead concentrated on slots (5) and hull size. Unfortunately, my shipping company was not as good as Adam’s. In the middle of the game, Marty merged all of the Siap Faji (spicy-rice) and won the resultant bid. As was later demonstrated, this gave him the game. I tried to catch up with some oil production but that only gave me second place. I think in the futute having a large expansion technology would be good.

Lunch Time Tichuers 03/02/2006

Woo woo! Would you believe that this is the first time that I have won a Tichu game at work? And strangely enough I haven’t lost a Tichu game at home. Anyways, on the first hand, Mike random-wished out my two bomb. So on the next hand, I random-wished out Ed’s three bomb. And on my hand, Mike wishes for a four (?) and I play another card and call Tichu. Unfortunately, Mike random-wished the four bomb out of Adam’s hand. I still made the Tichu. And speaking of bombs, Adam calls Tichu and then bombs the dragon. Mike then over-bombs on the assumption that it would hurt Adam. Adam then overbombs again! Which made Mike throw away his five bomb.
