Game night
Oops, forgot to bring my camera. next time....
Played RoboRally and Carcassonne. Both went over well, though Carcassonne went over better, especially with a couple of folks, who seemed to prefer the more intuitive gameplay over the planning and visualizing of RR. Two neat additions AH has made to Roborally: A 30 second timer, and a scenario booklet. The booklet just makes setting up a scenario, maps, and flag dead simple (not that it wasn't already, but still, you can now blame AH if the scenrio seems off balance), and the timer adds to the general Evilness. The timer only kicks in when there's a single player left programming his bot, so players can screw the slowest among them, which is always a hoot. I think playing a Robabrally drinking game would be hilarious: One swig every time your bot gets shot, two for falling down pits or driving off the board.... Oh, the havoc!
Oh, the scenrarios even include rules for CTF. Keeeen.
