Wrap Up
Just barely made it there in time to set up Settlers this morning, wound up playing with one hand and eating with the other. The Settlers game was super, 3 of us were both playing cutthroat and trading the lead among ourselves, and not taking anything personally. We all had 9 points when one guy managed to wrest longest road from me for the win. That eliminated me from any more Settlers competition. Then to Ticket, where I played a perfect game of Europe, finishing all tickets and more than anyone else - and finished dead last, eliminating me from TTR. Then I lost another Settlers game to a 5 year old. I thought it might be time to call it a convention then!
Got home just after the 1st quarter of the Ravens/Dolphins game and was able to chase the game on the DVR, plus it was a pretty enjoyable game outside of the FG shenanigans. Then the first grocery shopping since before Mom's surgery, and I've been trying to plow through the DVR since.
Two things I noticed when I got home about the games I bought: 3 of the 4 games were designed by Reiner Knizia. I knew Ingenious was, I didn't realize Circus Flocati & Lost Cities were until I de-shrinkwrapped them. I imagine I should be seeking out his games in that case. His mind seems to work the same direction as mine. The fourth game, Endeavor...it looked fine when I bought it, and I took it straight to the car, where it lived in the trunk with the other games for 3 days. Today I took the game apart and found numerous dings and dents, a crushed exterior corner and a split interior corner. It must have taken abuse in the trunk, but none of the other games had any damage. I'm stumped.
