So the ex-roommate managed to badger me into leaving the house and going to the Friday Board Game night. Played a game of Lost Civilizations, Princes of Florence and some Ra to finish up the night. Won the first, lost the others. But fun was had. Of course now I'm expected to leave the house MORE often. Socialize. Interact with others. Not ( Read more... )

Decided to take advantage of not working tonight by going down to Gamer's Inn for some board games. As always, while I want to support the store that gives me space to game my selections were limited. Ended up grabbing some more little plastic undead women for Zombies! and some pens for my battle-map. Played some Puerto Rico (which was more fun ( Read more... )

Spent just over three hours playing Arkham Horror this week, with the Egypt expansion cards. We didn't actually finish, but we were in such a strong position there really wasn't anyway for the Horror to win. I don't think anyone is going to want play AH again for a couple months. Also played out some Bohnanza (where it was again shown that not ( Read more... )

Spent most of the night playing Power Grid. A nice game, though I learned that when using the USA map, picking a California starting point makes things MUCH more difficult. After that I played some Liar's Dice, which I absolutely suck at. I just can't figure out the odds on things to make safe bids...

Sadly I didn't manage to win at anything last night. I had a terrible run at Formula De, a disastrous final scoring at M and was drawing dead during Munchkin. I did better at Liar's Dice, up until one truly stupid move put me out from the lead...

My side did win at Betrayal at the House on the Hill, managing to destroy the Ourobous the Two- ( Read more... )

Well the Thursday HM game was pretty slow. Various people were late due to real life stuff and so we started about 2 hours late. And then I never really had a good chance to attack foolishly or open random chests or what not to kill off my crappy fighter. Maybe in 2 weeks when Eric runs again ( Read more... )

Well we only had about 1/2 the normal crowd this week. And the half-dozen of us there mostly ended up playing the stuff I brought this week. The copy of Betrayal at the House on the Hill I bought at the store and a some Show Me the Brain and Lord of the Fries. So a very zombie filled night ('cause the Haunt was the Zombie Family one). Also some ( Read more... )

So Friday nights at Game Den is Board Game Night. A dozen or so people playing various board and card games. So while Miles spent the whole night playing in the World of Warcraft board game, Noah and I played Acquire and Bang! Acquire is a sort of stock buying and tile placing game. Pretty easy to learn. Though the one guy kept ganking me every ( Read more... )

First off, managed to spend a couple hours over at Dan/Jane's playing a little HackMaster. Mostly I stopped by to see how Jane is recovering from surgery...

Later on, I did board games with Brendan and Spoony and Miles. Broke out some Scrabble, as well as Catan, Rubis (a tough stacking puzzle game)and a couple games of Apples to Apples...

Well we ran SpyCraft tonight at Brendan's new apartment. Well eventually anyway. First we decided to do the "short" game of the Civilization board game. Close to 3 hours just for the ancient era. Noah ended up winning, but it me and Brendan were both right on his heels still ( Read more... )
