...Sorry about vetoing Love Letter, I was exhausted!<br /><br />I forgot to mention my Friday might gaming with Sally, Mark and Katie too. We played Insider to great success (Katie and Mark both made for successful insiders, whereas Sal was found out) and Hit Z Road to less great success - I think we started it a bit too late in the evening, and the theme didn't really latch onto us. In fact there was an extended break during the zombie apocalypse to discuss meringue recipes. I think Mark might have won had he not died, Matt-style, on the final round. <br />GNN Reportshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17982778341361220607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317166417552799764.post-49189254026799824642017-05-21T00:02:44.352+01:002017-05-21T00:02:44.352+01:00Well, my gander was up.
A lovely evening. Pity we...Well, my gander was up.<br /><br />A lovely evening. Pity we couldn't end with Love Letter, bit never mind.<br /><br />In Flame Rouge, I didn't properly assess how useless my 'nine' cards would be at the end of the race. I take my hat off to Sam who crossed the finish line with a 'three' card.<br /><br />I enjoyed King Of Siam, but I was disappointed by the end-game. In our game, it was clear to me that if both Ian and I played to benefit ourselves, then Sam (with the last move) would win. So I took the best move for me, leaving Ian in an impossible place. He only chose me to win, because that would get him second, and there must be a second, otherwise the final round is just an exercise in kingmaking.<br /><br />Finally with Quantum, I sent a die to the void early on, for research purposes but that put me on the back foot for the rest of the game as I was trying to play catch up. My best move was to attack Sam and then Ian, both successfully, which I think added another thirty minutes to the game. But to no avail. And we'll done to Ian for ending the game when I thought there were another couple of rounds left.<br /><br />Thanks all. It was fun.Ersbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08012602968152264418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317166417552799764.post-16927193381958234962017-05-20T23:47:58.583+01:002017-05-20T23:47:58.583+01:00Interesting auto-correct on dander!Interesting auto-correct on dander!GNN Reportshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17982778341361220607noreply@blogger.com
