Bananagrams

Banannagrams is like a fast play individual scrabble.  You each draw tiles from the center and make a scrabble pattern.  You can put a tile back and draw 3 more.  When the central tile pool is down to the number of players the game ends.  You can rebuild your 'scrabble' board at any time.

I played Lara.  She had a hard time because the words were in English!

Pish kept re-arranging my layout with his tail!

Poor sick Pish!

August - Pandemic Legacy Hobart

We tried using the colonel for the first time.  He was shooting faded left, right, and center.  An easy victory this month!  (We still havent searched for the virologist -- I think we are setting ourselves up for a hard time!)

Fokkers over Blenheim

We were going to play Blenheim, but not enough people showed up.  So we cleared 1/2 the table and did Fokkers!

Game 1 was 2 Camels vs a Fokker and a Roland

Jim in a Fokker on the tail of Nick in a Camel, who is on the tail of Jim's Roland.  Mike has had engine failure and been forced to land!

Game 2: Mike in an Albatross being hunted by Jim in a Spad!

Star Wars Rebellion rematch -- so cinematic

Cameron and I had a rematch of Rebellion.  Cameron was the empire, and I was the rebels.

This time Cameron spread out quickly.  I consolidated around the rebel base.  When Cameron had figured out where the base was, he couldn't get his fleets there in time to crush it.

Highlights included:
- Bobba Fet discovered where the base was, and lead an attack using troops from Coruscant (center of the Empire).  The attack failed, but it took a bunch of rebels down.  Chewbacca lead a secret counterattack to Coruscant that scored a ton of VPs.
- Darth Vader managed to capture Obi-wan.  Luke lead a rescue mission, and using the 'return of the Jedi' card, managed to eliminate Darth Vader.

Once again, this was a nailbiter.  Another turn and Cameron would have won.

Where could they be?

Grand Austria Hotel

I like this game.  Its sort of like Agricola, except you are managing a hotel.  You have to prepare rooms for guests, make struedel and cake for them, etc.  It helps that I won my first game.

Kayaking

Went kayaking at Coningham.  After Kayaking, played Sushi Go and cards.

Lara kept capsizing her Kayak.  She fell out 3 times!

Morgan

My final hand wasnt great, but I managed to win a close game!
