Another big night where we broke into new tables.  We welcomed a new gamer Umar to the group and hope he becomes a regular.

Table One

Times Square

Charlie arrived early.  Our mutual friend Stven Carlberg has been touting the wonders of this two player game.  So, we had to play it twice.  Charlie won once and I won once and, I still don't see the strong allure.  It is an OK game and nice two player filler but, not one of my favorites.

Breakaway Rider

Dave took an early lead on the mountain and really never looked back as we tried this one waiting for people to arrive.  I would like to try it again just to see if there is a game here.

Formula De

We played Formula De mini the other night and someone suggested we try to full game for one lap.

Zombietown

This is the latest from Twilight Creations.  No one was really pleased.  As others arrived, it was time to stop in mid game.  I am sure the game would improve slightly as multiple zombies are moved in the later part of the game, but, it was falling a little flat in the early phases and no one cared that the game was abandoned.

Table Two

Aquadukt

Water sprang freely and Ted got some lucky roles for a win.

5th Avenue

Aquired this on the cheap and had to give it another go.  This is not a bad little game.  The early bad rap is not deserved.  It does have a timing issue depending on how the players drive the game.  Additional plays would be warranted.  James managed a minor victory.

Caesar and Cleopatra

James had to leave and that left Kris and Ted with the start of this two player game.  We abandoned as the other table finished up for a 5 player game of High Society.

High Society

Some negative cards came out very early causing a lot of issues.  In the end, almost anyone could win.  Unfortunately Ted had spent the most leaving Travis the victory.
