Post Covid Reunion

After a year, our Charterstone campaign resumed.  I am well behind - I had almost forgotten how to play!

We finished mid-evening, with not enough time to do a second game, so we then played Seven Wonders.

 

Easter Bunny Games

 7 Wonders with all the trimmings - Cities and Leaders expansion.

Jack won and had to wear the Easter Bunny Ears.

Cockroach Poker minus Cockroaches

 We started off with Cockroach Poker, improvised using normal playing cards.

We moved on the 7 Wonders, with the cities and leaders expansions.

Trifecta

 Played 3 games: 7 Wonders, Medici, and Mysterium.  Cass had a hard time as a ghost in Mysterium, but she won Medici.  I cant remember the result for 7 Wonders - I think Rob won.

Christines Birthday

 Played Scythe at Christines place.  We did the random map variant, which adds a lot to the game.  We then went on to play 7 Wonders with the leaders expansion, which was also great!

Last Game with Alisia and Fabi

7 Wonders and Cosmic Encounter.

Family 7 Wonders

Alex was home with Matt.  Alisia and Fabi were here.  With so many people, a game of 7 Wonders broke out!

HOGS

Went to HOGS with Marie and gave Martha a lift.

Played Galaxy Trucker.  I thought Marie would be great at it, as she is so good a jigsaws.  But it turns out that Galaxy Trucker is just not her game -- her ship got blown apart twice!

We started off with Seven Wonders.

Lots of people playing!

Marie's ship -- 2/3rds has been blown off!!!!

Marie isn't happy about this game!

Ship #3 is doing OK.  Martha's has been devastated by slavers.

A quiet night in Lenah Valley

Went to the HOGS meeting in Lenah Valley (they rotate venues).  There was almost no-one there.  Played 7 wonders and Tokaido (twice)

Kingston Hogs

Went to the HOGS meeting in Kinston.

Played 7 wonders.  Managed to come 2nd in a 7 player game, which I was happy with.

The played a game of German Railroads.  Came equal 2nd/3rd in a 3 player game.

Those large Magic playmats are da Bomb!!!   pity they are so expensive!

Trying to figure out Railroads.  I screwed it up, but still managed to catch up towards the end.

Slippery Business

Went to HOGS, but I shouldn't have.  It was a cold winters night -- good for games.

Taught some new starters Dominion.  They both won!!!!  Then played Seven Wonders, and again the new starter won!!!!

We started off with Dominion

Took Marie (our exchange student) along.  With new starter Martha

After games I found the road up Tolmans Hill so icy that I had to park and walk!!!!

A Wonderous, no Splendiforous Evening!

I dropped into the Hobart Games Society for a night of wild women and games.  Well, games anyway.

Played two games -- a 7 player version of 7 Wonders, and then Splendor.  I managed to win both, so I was feeling cocky.  I will now proceed to lose for the next 6 months!!!

Beaten by Youth

Went to HOGS.  I was invited to join a game of Splendor with Steven, Andrew (a teenager), and a teenager whose name I cant remember.

We started off with Splendor, where I sneaked a victory at the last minute.


We then played 7 Wonders, and the teenagers spanked me -- I managed to come dead last!!!

The meeting was at the back of the Lenah Valley Community Hall

Splendor!

Seven Wonders just starting

A teenager planning my demise!!!

Cards of the Dead and 7 Wonders

Started off with 'Cards of the Dead'.  This is a zombie card game -- if you get too many zombie cards you get eaten.  You can play cards to run (which scores points) or to remove zombies.

It was a very low scoring game.  The game is the best total score over 3 games.  I won round 1 and 2 with 1 point, and Dave won round 3 with 1 point.

We followed on with a game of 7 Wonders, using the cities expansions.  Mal crushed us -- his score from science alone put him ahead of everyone else.

Muzza back in town

Murray was back in the office!  He could only stay till 6:00, so at 5:00 we stopped work and had a quick 5 player game of 7 Wonders.  I won this game.  Murray then left, and we had another 4 player game, which I didn't win -- though I got close.  I did notice that the 4 player and 5 player games played very differently -- in 4 player you had more resources, and there was less trading.

13 Wonders at the office

OK -- it should be 7 wonders, but with a couple of expansions I now have 13 wonders!

Kristian, Mal, Matty and myself.  Kristian had never played before -- so he proceeded to win both games -- convincingly!!!!!
