September 27, 1998

Bob, Carol, Eric and Glenn were there. We played a game Bob picked up this weekend, Medici, Air Baron, which Glenn finally bought, and Euphrates & Tigris.

Medici was designed by the same guy who did Modern Art and Euphrates & Tigris. It’s a quick, fun, little bidding game for up to six players with simple rules and a lot of complexity. Definitely a keeper.

Air Baron was a good game save for the curse of bad luck which hit Eric early. If you get burned early by bad draws, it can be very difficult to recover. He never really did. (See 11/8/98.)

As usual, Euphrates & Tigris was complex and challenging. It looked like it might go quickly but some desperate end-game strategies drew out the conclusion.

We’re looking forward to our next session.
