wow, that gaming night ran late...
Jun. 3rd, 2013 10:26 amTo my surprise, ragnhildr showed up promptly at 1pm. The surprise was not the promptly, as she usually shows up promptly, but the showing up as she had not RSVPed and I had not expected her. It was a pleasant surprise, though. We started with a 2-player game of San Juan.
Antra and George showed up around 1:30 (earlier than expected, as they were doing Doors Open Ottawa), and since I expected ironphoenix at 2pm, we played a few (5) games of Jenga while we waited. All of us had at least one crash, though I managed to take the earliest, crashing on my first play.
After ironphoenix showed up, we decided to play Age of Empires III, though ragnhildr decided to sit this one out, and in fact, headed out part way through the game as she had (not surprisingly) gotten tired. Also, while we were playing, Eve arrived. This one game down to a photo-finish, which I won.
We then played a 5-player game of Medici, which Eve won handily.
Antra and George headed out; tchang, beable, arndis, and Jason joined the three of us (ironphoenix, me, Eve) for dinner at the Koreana where we tried an herbed So Ju which most of us didn't like as much as the usual.
After dinner, we split into a "learning" game of 1856 (me, ironphoenix, beable, Eve, Jason) and while that setup I taught Kingdom Builder to arndis and tchang. Elena arrived after their first game, and I think they played a couple more games of that, too.
We called the 1856 game shortly before 3am as it was a "school" night. It was unclear who was winning, though I think I had a very strong position at that point. (By a cash-out count, ironphoenix was ahead of me, but I had the initiative going into the next stock round, I think I was going to be able to stick him with a big, nasty, expense.)
I am surprisingly awake today.
