Failure at Rooting

 The usual crowd for root.  I left my run as Corvids too late, and finished last, well behind the pack, and well, well behind Martha.

Taylor!

 Taylor was back for a visit.  Modern Art is hard the first time you play it.  Yet Taylor came second, beating far more experienced hands!

Botted

 Orleans.  I had to take a call, so they played the first few turns for me.  it wasnt bad, but wasnt what I was planning to do.  But this is a great game!

Sad Solo

 I played C&C Medieval using the solo play system.  The scenario didnt really work -- the battle was set up with a massive Byzantine sneak attack on the left.  But the Byzantine player never drew an Attack Left card.  So they were steamrolled.

Ryan Takes All

 Ryan returned with a shift back to Thursday games.  He won 6 games for the evening -- 3 games of Turing Machine and 3 of Mind Management.

Confusion in the Souk

Marakesh is a great game!  But the first play through is an exercise in confusion!

 

Ross's Game Selection

 Just the two of us.  Sekigahara was on Ross's wish list, so we pulled it out.  A tense, close game that Ross narrowly won on the last term.
