DiCon Day 2

I played in the Twilight Imperium game.

To cut a long story short, two thumbs up!!!!

Mike explaining the rules (the tech tree in this case)

The start.  I was red (specialising in trading), inbetween Martha (specialising in technology) and David (specialising in politics.  I thought it would be a nice quiet corner of the world ...

I started exploring, and almost immediately my fleet hit a supernova and was destroyed :(

I was hemmed in by the supernova, asteroids, and a gravity rift.  I had to move tovards David.

Lots of people playing various games

David destroyed my new fleet.  While everyone else expanded, I was stuck :(.  But the game was so much fun!

DiCon Day 1

I couldn't play all day, because I had promised my Swiss home stay student that I would take them to Russell Falls.

I did drop in at the end of the day for 'Two Rooms and a Boom'.  A party game where you had to determine what role each player had, and get the bomber into the same room as the president (if you were on the bomber's team) or keep the bomber away from the president (if you were on the president's team.

The Falls were lovely!

No one trusts anyone -- who is the bomber?

Lots of secret negotiation going on

I was a red pawn -- no special abilities apart from a desire to assassinate the president.
