We had a nice afternoon of gaming. I picked up ragnhildr and drove to kattale's place. While we waited for bytowneboy and his boyfriend (R) to arrive, we played a couple games of Fluxx. (kattale and dagibbs victorous). When they arrived, I pulled out and quickly introduced the various games I'd brought (just one largish suitcase full, a travelling contingent) and bytowneboy had heard of Tsuro, so we pulled that out and played a couple games. (I don't remember, maybe ragnhildr and?). Then pulled out the big game of the day, El Grande. Did a rules explanation, played through a sample turn & scored it to show how it all worked, then reset and started playing. ragnhildr led for much of the game, I overtook near the end, and in the final scoring I won, but not by a lot, with R in 2nd and ragnhildr in 3rd. If everyone had jumped on me, instead of ragnhildr, in the last pre-scoring round, I think she might have taken it. (Somebody forgot to instruct them in the everyone jump dagibbs thing.)

I think I may have new recruits for gaming. :)

Note to self: be sure everyone has been briefed on the "jump on Dagibbs" thing!

Oh, without a doubt. I had such a blast. I'm looking forward to a rematch when i have fewer distractions. Although being distracted seems to be my normal state of being... :)

Thanks *so* much for bringing a fun afternoon with you!

Well, I'm out of town next weekend, and after that we're really into the Christmas busy time. But, I'm sure in the New Year, more gaming will happen. And beable has asked about whether gaming could happen at my party on the 29th, and I said that I accepted the idea, though wouldn't likely be participating in anything serious myself.

And, you are very welcome. It was my pleasure. I would love to do something similar, again.
