Gaming and food was good...

[dagibbs]

Had a good afternoon of gaming -- peaked at 3 tables of gaming. I think we had ironphoenix, metawidget, rottenfruit, shyska, beable, ragnhildr, lj-less Steve, jagash, lj-less Eve, and me. (Did I forget anyone?)

I played 5 games of Bananagrams, Lowenherz, 2 games of Set (or was it 3?), and Acquire. Also played was (at least) Ticket to Ride, more than one game of Tsuro, more than one game of Dominion, Ca$h 'n' Gun$, and Cockroach Poker.

I got thoroughly crushed at both Acquire and Lowenherz.

6 of us went out to a northern Chinese restaurant that jagash suggested, and the food was good. Then back for the game of Acquire, and some Port and chocolate.

We'd have to learn how to work it, and it doesn't give a good visual indication of how much time is left the way an egg timer does. That visual indication is useful, let's you know how tight to the end of negotiations you are.

True. I also have game-timer clocks (basically, a fancy digital chess clock with multiple modes) that can work for this.
