Gaming in November
We had a blast gaming last night. [info]mostuff came over with her friends [info]aedynn and [info]trollsabre. I introduced them to Hunting Party.

(right people, wrong game)

[info]celticdragonfly and [info]fordprfct had a game of Candyland with Maggie (who was thrilled) and Jamie (who needs practice playing). Tom came by but was called away by a family emergency before he could play anything (poor Tom).

We gathered all the adults for a game of Apples To Apples. It got pretty adult when the "Chewy" card was won by "Girlfriends". :D

The original plan was to order pizza for everyone, but instead we served them chocolate cake.

THE CAKE IS A LIE

[info]tmc4242 arrived in time for the cake. Most of us went to the library to play Railroad Tycoon. I wrote up the game for Boardgamegeek.com. [info]mostuff came very close to winning, only two points behind the winner, not bad for the first time playing.


[info]fordprfct, who's hiding [info]mostuff, [info]trollsabre, [info]aedynn, [info]tmc4242, and [info]selenite


Shortly after we started [info]tyledra and David arrived. They and [info]celticdragonfly set up at the other table and played SPANC, Category 5, and Fluxx.

By then it was close to midnight and we just hung out and chatted for a while until it was time for folks to stagger off home. It was a great time--meeting new people and seeing friends we haven't seen for a while.

Awwwwwww! Sorry we missed you guys! Hello to everyone!

We did get a *ton* of moving done, but my muscles are firmly disappointed that we didn't come up and play games instead!

I figure you guys had the best excuse for not showing of anyone. I'm glad moving went well. Hopefully you can make the next game day, and we can see the new place sometime soon!

Sorry I missed it. I love Railroad Tycoon and haven't played it in at least 16 years. Alas, I was out of town this weekend. Maybe next time.

I should talk to my wife about doing this. We certainly know enough eclectic people that enjoy playing Munchkin, Chrononauts and Fluxx - we've just never gathered them together in one spot. One problem is they're scattered way the heck all over NE Wisconsin and it's getting to the time of year when people just want to hole up under a blanket with a roaring fire.

It's usually worth doing, though I've had a couple go bust. Given the geography you might want to talk to whoever's in the center of the potential players and offer to help out if he hosts.
