I bumped into Jake in the hall, right as I was thinking about finishing up for the day and going home, but he convinced me to stay and playa game or three (it was not hard). He and I played a game of Ingenious.
It's nice, now that we have built up a solid foundation (almost an entire semester!) of game playing, to be able to whip out a game, silently, diligently set up the board, and just get into it. Ingenious is a nice simple game, with plenty of strategy and randomness to make it ultimately replayable.
Here's how the scorecards looked at the end of this game:
| Ingenious Score Card (a "+" means the score went off the card) | ||||||
| player | red | green | blue | orange | yellow | purple |
| Chris | + | 9 | 11 | 12 | 9 | + |
| Jake | + | 9 | 6 | 6 | 3 | + |
The reds and purples flew off the board quick, but Jake just didn't have the luck of the draw to move his yellow very far.
Remember, in this game, your score is your LOWEST total on the board. SO: Chris' low of 9 in both green and yellow DEMOLISHED Jake's yellow 3.
