I've never played Puerto Rico (but turns out she had)

 Game chosen by Cass.  She forgot she had played this before.  Ryan smoked us all

Arctic Puerto Rico

It was cold and we gamed indoors!  What a treat!

 

Puerto Rico with expansions

 Broke out my Puerto Rico from the shrink, and added expansions #1 & #2 to the mix.

I really like the expansions.  But you have to plan a strategy from the get go, and get buildings to match your strategy.

Isolation Games #2

Peuto Rico over Boardgamearena.

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!!!
