Game #1

Neuroshima Hex

Wow, this is my first time playing this game. Which I bought back in June of last year. How sad. It was interesting, if a bit one-sided. I was attacked by everyone. Yet, no one was attacking anyone else. Which is strange since your final hit points is your score. Not that I mind. I like it when people play sub-optimally. Hopefully, they will continue playing the same way when I am in the lead the next time.

Tichu

Instead of finishing up the night with Tichu, we played Tichu next. I guess that the priority was get in a full game of Tichu. And, if we still have time, then play another game.

Game #2b

Dominion

Next up was Nick’s copy on poker chips. He had printed out a bunch of stickers that someone had made for a version on wooden disks. He was even generous to send the game’s author some money via paypal. This version is intended for people who have difficulty shuffling cards. Because that is what you spend most of the game doing.

Since Nick didn’t have any bags yet for the game, I gave him some lunch bags. This inspired Chapel to put a bag over his head. The unknown gamer strikes again. If only I could have gonged Chapel out of there…
