Betrayal at the House on the Hill -- who would be the betrayer?

Betrayer revealed.  A battle at the escape point -- which I lost  All hope of escape lost

Blueprints

HOGS

Went to HOGS (Hobart Gaming Society).  Dave Hay was free at the last minute, and rocked up just in time for the scond game.

The first game was Blueprints, and game of building dice structures to match a given blueprint.  Differnt dice scored differently -- the skill was in choosing which dice to go where to get maximum points.  I managed a second place.

Next we had a 5 player game of Puerto Rico.  I won, by one point!!!!!  It was very close.  I also discovered there is an expansion with additional buildings (which we didnt use)

Some of the other games being played.

And finally, someone was playing Power Grid with the Australia board.  Very interesting!!!
