Games

Sunday's games went well, although scribble_scribe was unfortunately too sick to come. iclysdale, MV, and I played Ixnay, a homebrewed thing by me based on the core concept of Njet. When DB and MT arrived, we all played Witch Trial, a Cheapass Game in which players take the parts of lawyers trying to gain cold, hard cash prestige by prosecuting and defending cases in the glory days of Salem etc. We followed that with a game of Santa Fe Rails, a railroad game from 2001 in which players earn cold, hard cash victory points by connecting cities to the rail grid and by having lots of different railroads connected to cities for which they have played cards.

There was also some discussion of the upcoming bulk order and what each of us would be buying; my own tentative list as of right now is:

• Caylus


• Enemy Chocolatier


• Age of Steam


• Memoir '44


• Wits and Wagers


• Ra


• Manila


• San Juan


• The Scepter of Zavandor


• Antike


• Hacienda

I'm also planning to get the Italy/France expansion for Power Grid and the Pirates of Davy Jones Locker (expansion for Pirates of the Spanish Main) special edition box. It looks like the discount will be 25%, since we're already almost at the threshold order quantity.

Draco and I looked through Fandom and decided that we are going to pass on the bulk order this year.

Ok; if you change your mind or want more info on the games, there's still time, but I can certainly understand wanting to keep your money.

It isn't even wanting to keep our money... it's that we don't play them when its just us so we usually buy for gifts and we didn't see anything that would work for this year. (not to mention that we have all the gaming books we want right now) Don't wait on us.

BTW... Monday 23rd for dinner works with us. I forgot to email S_D about that.

Games: The bulk order waits on no one, you or me included! (DB is organizing it.)
Dinner: Ah, good!
