We were back to six again with Kris, Charlie, Dave, Brent, James and Ted
Aton
Charlie arrived a little early and it was time for
1/2 a game of Aton. Charlie had not tried and wanted an
introduction. Scores were pretty close after the first scoring
round when Dave and Kris arrived. So, we abandoned the game to
play with them.
Pepper
We looked for a game for 4 that was quick while we waited for more
people to arrive. This one is in such a small box, it got behind
something and I forgot I had it and had not even played it. It
playes in 5 minutes so it looked like the filler for us. We
managed to get in two hands before Brent and James arrived.
Charlie won one and Ted won the other. This one is very
light fluff.
Imperial
Kris had arrived with another new game this week that exactly fit 6 and
we were off. This was a first time for all of us and I liked the
game a lot. My major complaint was that it took 3 hours. I
think this would shore up on future plays. We played with a
couple of variants that Kris had off the web to give more money to
people who did not control countries. Countries changed hands
quite a bit as the sides swayed back and forth. Ultimately, James
edged us out in the final tally.
Through the Desert
Brent and James headed out and we opted for a 1 hour final closing game
for the remaining 4. The game came to an end fairly quickly as we
all jockeyed for the pink camels. Ted managed to get two longest
runs and take the victory.
