And we had fun. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ragnhildr and concordantnexus showed up, and D sat in for one game.
Started out with Unexploded Cow andragnhildr showed her clear command of the subject of Mad Cows by decisively winning, yet again. And many cows went boom. And there was much rejoicing.
Then we played a game of Samurai won by your correspondent. D sat in for the 2nd game of Samurai and had a clear win in it.
Followed this with two games of Puerto Rico. I won the first decisively, andconcordantnexus pulled out a tight victory in the 2nd.
We played from about 1pm through about 6pm, so 5 games in 5 hours is pretty good. Maybe the time estimates on a couple of the games go down as one becomes more experienced with them. Leads to an interesting question -- when posting a playing time on a box, should it be the playing time first or second times through, when people are learning the game, or should it be the time taken by a group that is more experienced? It is tough, since you may want the posted time to be a reasonable estimate for the people deciding "we haven't played it before, do we have time". But, the other is, possibly, the more long term accurate one. Dunno.
I plan for another gaming day, of course. Just not sure when as of this posting, but a posting for it will come.
