\nLast Night On Earth<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nDisc golf and eating at Dos Salsas caused me to arrive late. I walked in on Chapel playing an Ameritrash game!\n<\/p>\n

\n\"Game<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

\nGlory To Rome<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nJon was just starting to play Glory To Rome (which he had just played Thursday night). Since Nick and John were wanting to play Bridge and this was a game day, I jumped into the GtR game. I am liking this game less and less. It seems that the cards are not well balanced. For example, in this game Jon built a Garden. This allowed him to hire four more client\u00e8le (for a total of six). Now, with three brown clients, he has a huge advantage in building new buildings with the Craftsman. The game is pretty much over at that point. Unfortunately, it drug on for another half an hour.\n<\/p>\n

\n\"Game<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

\nThrough The Ages<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nEd wanted to play Brass. And this was the reason why I drove up to this game day. Unfortunately, we could not get a game going for lack of other players. Sigh. So I opted to play TtA instead.\n<\/p>\n

\nI don’t know how I survived in this game. My army was pathetically weak! I was ripe for an assault. Fortunately, I was only attacked three times (one where I lost three science, and two where I let Chapel attack me even though I had defense cards). I was able to eventually get my army up to be only a couple of points behind after many turns. In this game, I only saw two tactics cards. This is the one flaw of this game. And that is the random nature of the military deck draw. I really think it should be fixed where you draft military cards like you draft the normal cards.\n<\/p>\n

\nI was definitely ahead in the victory point generation. And they finally called it when I finished the wonder that gave me 24 points.\n<\/p>\n

\n\"Game<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

\nEscalation!<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nWe played a couple hands of Escalation and it was painful because none of the cards that I drew matched up with others in my hand. Not much you can do with that except grimace and bear it.\n<\/p>\n

\n\"Game<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

\nWizard<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nWe then moved on to Wizard, which is a much better card game. But one that I have not played in a while. We didn’t even use the big clicky wheels. How flawed! I played a perfect game and did not miss any of my predictions. I also beat Nick, who played perfectly — only less so.\n<\/p>\n

\n\"Game<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

\nElfenwizards<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nAt least I was able to play Elfenwizards again. It is a negotiation game that uses dice. The only problem was that this game drug on for twice as long as it should have. And, because of that, I started to get distracted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
