\nExxtra<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nWow, was my luck horrible in this game! It was definately my most unluckiest Exxtra game eva! Every time that I rolled above 70 (at least 5 or 6 times), it was knocked off. Argh! The only satisfying thing about the game was the end. Doug was poised to win. I, wanting the game to be over with, rolled and placed on the board. Marty, decided to try and stop Doug. He failed and lost one point. Which then tied him with me (for third). Doug won.\n<\/p>\n

\nForum Romanum<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nJohn bought this rare game on ebay and brought it here. I was definately willing to play the game again. It has simple rules and offers many tactical options. This game is much better than Die Dolmengötter.\n<\/p>\n

\nI was in the lead for most of the game. And only very briefly lost the lead to Francesca. By the end of the game, I was twice as far ahead as everyone else. I need to start looking for this game on ebay…\n<\/p>\n

\nYou can see in the picture above, that Doug (yellow) was pretty negative at that point in the game. He made progress during the game and moved into positive territory. So when the end game scoring was calculated, it was a surprise that Doug moved to 2nd.\n<\/p>\n

\nModern Art<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nAhh, this classic Knizia game was brought to the table. This game didn’t have that much competition for artwork. In fact, besides the five required to end the round, there wasn’t much other art on the table. In the last round, I offered a two pair collection which Doug (to my right) jumped on. He then ended the game by putting out another two pair of the same artist to bring the total to 5. There was only one other artist on the table at the time. I was in the lead, so I didn’t mind at all. Just surprised me…\n<\/p>\n

\nEasy Come, Easy Go<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nWhen we were playing this game, I was talking to Marty. So I was a little distracted. However, I won, so it was not that detrimental. ^_^\n<\/p>\n

\nDaimant<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nAnother quick filler game to end the night. I lost my gems on the first couple of mine disasters. So I had to push my luck. On the fith, and final mine, it was me and Adam left. Adam dropped out when he figured that he had enough to beat Mike. I pushed my luck. The next card that was turned was the 15 card! This was more than I needed for the win!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
