Shogun

Mike brought Shogun with him. Which is the re-themed Wallenstein game. Instead of the theme of the Thirty Years’ War (1618-48), it is set in feudal Japan during the Sengoku period (approx 1467-1573). A much better theme in my opinion. And the artwork is much better as well. The only change to the game is the introduction of bidding for turn order and special power cards. The special powers are not too outrageous. They are +1 money, +1 rice, +1 attack, +1 defense, or buy 6 armies for 3 dollars. Definitely a better game than Wallenstein. And one that I am thinking of trading up. Now if I could only convince Dan to paint me some samurai miniatures…

Tichu

While we waited for Rehana to pick Adam up, we play some Tichu. And boy what a blow-out it was. We had all of the honors. On the first hand, I had the Mahjong and random-wished Adam’s four bomb out. Luckily, I did not guess Jon’s three-bomb.
