Had a pleasant and yummy dinner at Sukhothai with ironphoenix and soul_diaspora, then dropped soul_diaspora off at home, and headed to my place to check on the state of the driveway. Found it clear, yay! So... did ironphoenix and I stay and game at my place or head off to Carleton?

We decided on my place... and called beable for a third. She joined us after she finished her dinner. In the meantime ironphoenix and I played a game of Bananagrams, and then I started on the rules of Through the Ages. I was almost finished when beable arrived. We got about the equivalent of the advanced game done, before we ran out of time. I think we need to setup a longer block of time to get a full game done. Or we need to play faster.

I then drove the two of the home, and am back home again.

Thanks for a fun evening, and the lift; glad you got home safely afterwards!

Yay for unnamed shovelling heroes! Also, Sukothai is one of my favourites. Sounds like a pleasant evening all around. :)

I look forward to trying a full game of Through the Ages.

So far, experience indicates that a full game of TtA requires 4.5-5.5 hours.
And now that the stores *finally* have 3rd Ed in stock, my copy is on the way!
(if you have the mis-numbered 2nd Ed, you can get the correction kit from the US publisher, Fred Distribution)

I've emailed Fred Distribution about the fix kit -- haven't heard back, yet.

Just in case, this thread (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/2838049#2838049) and this one (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/2776879#2776879) might be of interest.

Seems FRED has an unfortunate record of letting peoples' fix pack requests fall through the cracks though. Might need to poke them again.

Yeah, I've read some threads on BGG about that. I just poked them a few days ago, so I'll give them a chance.

Especially as we're in pre-Christmas time.

Ah. Sorry for covering familiar territory, then. Hope you get the kit soon!
