Labor Day Fun

[rabidconduit]

I had a great weekend hangin out with Anna and the assorted band of Bloomington. I have class till noon on Friday now, so I didn’t arrive till after 7pm IN time. Her brother Stephen was visiting and had made some wonderful pizza. We ended up heading down to Kirkwood, grabbing some drinks at SOMA and playing a game of Catan

Dude! I'm glad to hear you had a good time. Overdrawn at the Memory Bank is He-larious! We went to an MST3K screening of Star Wars Episode 3 at Dragon*Con this past weekend, and it made me miss having MST3K movie nights a lot- it was very fun. If you get the opportunity you might want to try out Starfarers of Catan. Its pricy but its a nice change of pace from normal Catan (still only 4 players max though). Or, failing that because of the price tag, try out Carcassonne, which has the flavor of the "Road Baron" tactic from Settlers, but a little less "random victory".

Anyway, thats my two cents. In other news, I picked up the re-release of "Deadlands: Reloaded!" while I was down there and I wanted to know from you specifically how attribute 'scores' were determined in the original. In 'Reloaded' they seem to have done completely away with having multiple die of any type, but instead you only have 1d 4,6,8,10,12 for all of the main attributes. I seem to remember things working differently.

I got Buck Carcassone for our anniversary, and we've only played it once. I guess we're too addicted to Catan.

Well... then scratch that one. If you have a group of 5-6 players try "Bang!".
