I wish I'd planned ahead and put the division's spreadsheet on my phone, so I could tell you who's top, but judging by the form table, Ian is probably still holding on.Ersbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08012602968152264418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317166417552799764.post-19060008274126871162015-05-13T19:48:15.004+01:002015-05-13T19:48:15.004+01:00From the brink of a perfect five to the bottom of ...From the brink of a perfect five to the bottom of the form table in one fell swoop!

It seemed that every time I pu...Ra was interesting. It seemed that every time I pulled a tile from the bag, it was a Ra. And a strange pattern emerged where whenever I pulled a Ra, Martin, whose turn was immediately after me, would also pull a Ra tile. The first round was awash with floods. Quite a strange game of Ra, but as enjoyable as ever.<br /><br />Basari was enjoyable. I'll attempt a brief explanation: Each turn you opted to play one of three choices - get workers, get points or get gems. The number of gems or points you could receive is determined by a card drawn a pack. At the end of the round you get points for having the most gems of each colour, or for having over 15 ( I think) workers. If two people chose the same option they haggle over who wins the right. So it becomes mathematically interesting as you try to work out how giving somebody x gems effects the scores. (I think my explanation makes some sort of sense).<br /><br />I had an early lead in the first two rounds, but Hannah amassed a large collection of gems that gave her the majority of points in the final round, allowing her to take the lead.<br /><br />I still really like Love Letter. Playing the Japanese, original version, is slightly baffling, with the different names for the people. No shitty baron. I think it's a case of what you're used to. Better artwork though.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05595365074869478107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317166417552799764.post-17344087971196190582015-05-13T10:21:53.751+01:002015-05-13T10:21:53.751+01:00Gosh what a lot of games!

So no real winners or losers yet - but we intend to meet in future on mondays or thursdays, so I should be able to keep tuesdays free for REAL games.<br /><br />Talking of real games, we rounded off the evening with a couple of games of For Sale, which was well received. I want to get these guys playing Tichu, or 99 if there are three of us. They'll never look back!Joe Bergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01710555098761136919noreply@blogger.com
