Monday's gaming

[dagibbs]

Had a good crowd for gaming, including me, gabriel_le, ironphoenix, zenten and waterspyder, donnav, ragnhildr, arndis, tchang, ilanikhan, iclysdale, and shyska. raynedaze also appeared to socialize and do some art.

We started with a game or two of Fluxx, while people accumulated.

Then, in parallel was Caylus (3-player) and Antike (6-player), with ironphoenix winning Caylus (though it was a close game) and ilanikhan winning Antike.

Next, was Torres (3-player) and El Grande (4-player). And, in the other room, some social time was spent. I think tchang won Torres, and ironphoenix and I tied for first in El Grande.

At this point we broke for dinner, a game of Fluxx then Set were played while waiting for chinese takeout and some Zendo was played over dinner.

After dinner, Samurai was pulled out (4-player), won by tchang. In the other room, I think two games of Tsuro were played. One was a draw, and donnav won the other.

Some people wandered off at this point, and the final game of the evening was Santiago (4-player) won by me, with arndis a close second.

It was a good day of gaming, thank you everyone for coming. And, I was quite surprised by just how many people did show up. Pleased and surprised.

You're welcome. Thanks for coming.

And, thanks for the rules misunderstandings corrections.

No problem; I've been as guilty of misreading rules as anyone, even in games I've played many times. (I still remember playing Titan and having a new player move one of his legions through another, then pointing out the section in the rules that specifically allowed it when we said that he couldn't. We looked at each other and one of us said something like, "well, we've been doing that wrong for at least a decade.")
