Not Imperial Assault

Michael and Johnathan couldnt make it, so we played Castles of Burgundy.  Rob almost lapped Cameron and me on the score chart.

Where is my cow?

Castles of Burgundy at Hog's.  I was playing a long game.  While dead last, if I got one more cow token I would have caught up with the pack.  So the guy in the lead sacrificed points to buy the cow token and keep me in last place :(

It was a fantastic game!

Post Maria Island Hogs

Went to Maria Island.  lara's friend got tired, so came home in time to go to HOGS.

The morning at Maria Island with Lara and Warisa

Then HOGS.  First up blueprints.

The Orleans.  A close game.

Lara played Castles of Burgundy, and won convincingly!!!  But no pictures :(

And finally Code Names.

Lara comes from close to Burgundy!

Castles of Burgundy with Lara.  The game ended with a tie.  Lara would have won if she hadnt made a mistake on the last turn.

Friendly Games

Went to Hogs, and played with Greg (who is a teacher at Friends) and his sister Jennifer (I think -- my memory is horrible), and Anthony.

And we then finished off with some WWI dogfights.

We started out with Castles of Burgundy, where Greg won handily, out mathing me.

I got my revenge in Splendor, 

And we then finished off with some WWI dogfights.

Flying planes is getting serious!!!!

The Germans have a downed an allied plane!!!

Castles of Burgundy

Just a two player game as Dave was in the dog house from last week, Matty was travelling, and Mal was playing Fallout 4

HOGS -- Castles of Burgundy and Code Words

Went to a HOGS meeting

Game 1 was Castles of Burgundy.  I Saw it being set up when I walked in and commented that I had always wanted to learn how to play it.  Next thing you know I was knee deep in a game.  I came second, though the winner was way, way ahead!

There was a fair turnout.  This meeting was on a Friday evening, and it was a very different crowd to Saturday evening meetings.

The second game was Code Words.  My team won both games, through pure luck.  In the first game there was a good grouping of words, and in the second game a team member guessed a card which happened to be correct, putting us in the box seat.
