On Saturday, June 24, a mere six of us gathered to play games. Attending were Bob, Carol and Rachel Jones, Dave and Noreen Fair, and Scott Percival. The tote is below (winner listed first).
Tote Board
- Crokinole - Bob and Scott, Dave and Carol. (This was the inaugural game on our brand new Crokinole board! Bob and Scott teamed up against Dave and Carol. Fun game.)
- Dance of the Eggs - Scott 3, Bob 3, Carol 2, Rachel 2, Noreen 0, Dave dropped. (Wacky game with rubber eggs. You roll a die and then have to perform an action such as bouncing an egg to see who catches it, holding an egg under your chin, snatching the die, etc. When someone drops an egg, the game is over. Whoever has the most eggs wins.)
- Gemblo - Dave 0, Scott 10, Noreen 11, Rachel 13, Bob 13, Carol 16. (Blokus with hexagonal pieces suitable for up to six players. A beautiful game and fun to play.)
- Cleopatra and the Society of Architects - Carol 53, Scott 45, Dave 44, Noreen 43, Bob 60 but disqualified from winning. (Lavish, overproduced game with amazing Egyptian bits. Players collect cards to build monuments in Egypt. Mixture of familiar mechanics works well. Looking forward to trying this again.)
- Crokinole - Bob and Scott, Dave and Rachel
- Crokinole - Dave and Rachel, Bob and Scott
- Crokinole - Bob and Scott, Dave and Rachel
- Lord of the Rings - Sauron, Dave, Noreen, Scott, Carol, Bob (In a very close game, Sauron corrupted the ringbearer (and pretty much everyone else) and won against the free peoples of Middle Earth.)
- Wiz War - Bob, Scott, Noreen, Carol, Dave
- Fossil - Carol 123, Bob 85, Dave 73, Noreen 52, Scott 47 (Carol destroyed us. Enough said.)
- Die Sieben Siegel - Scott 10, Bob 15, Dave 17, Noreen 22, Carol 31
All in all, a fun day of gaming.
Hope to see you soon!
Bob
