Election Day gaming...

After voting, we got down to gaming...


Labyrinth the Card Game

Players: Kaylin vs. Fenwick

Fenwick and Kaylin, being the first folks there, got in a quick game of the maze-building Labyrinth card game.

Kaylin wins, 20 to 18.

No big surprise there.


Flea Circus

Players: Mike2, Ashlei, Dan, Dave, Kaylin, Nolan, Fenwick





This is a simple little game, where you play cards and grab animals that represents the points on the cards. If you play a unique card, you get points from the 'bank'. If you play a card that matches one someone else has played in front of them, you get those points from THAT person. There are a few other twists, but basically that's the gist.

When all the animals were grabbed, the totals were like this:

Dan had none.
Nolan had 6.
Dave had 7.
Kaylin had 10.
Fenwick had 11.
Mike2 had 11.
Ashlei had 13.



Ashlei wins!


The Great Dalmuti

Players: Mike2, Ashlei, Dan, Dave, Kaylin, Fenwick, Sean

Classic Game Day game. I think we hit this for at least a little while each time. That's cuz it's fun.

A couple interesting moments...

Dave said at one point: "Dude, I am just a stickler for the subjunctive."

Also, during the game, (I believe unrelated to the game) Dan calls his place of employment. And he just quit. Crazy.

Dave spent 5 of the six rounds in either the Great or Lesser Dalmuti seat. I'd have to call him the winner of the game.



Quiddler

Players: Sean, Dan, Ashlei, Rich, Mike2, AJ, TJ, Dave, Steven, Fenwick

Yep. That's 10 people playing Quiddler. We only made it through 4 rounds before I had to go.

Out-of-context quote of this game: AJ said "I've decided I want ear pie."

TJ had 54 points.
Mike2 had 56 points.
AJ had 57 points.
Dan had 62 points.
Ashlei had 65 points.
Steven had 67 points.
Dave had 72 points.
Rich had 76 points.
Sean had 90 points.
Fenwick won with 92 points.


Ido

Players: Angie, Kaylin, Sean, Fenwick

I always liked this game. Strategic and simple... with 4 players it's just great. First player to get 4 pieces off the bard wins.

Fenwick wins.


Great Brain Robbery

Players: Rich, Angie, Sean, Philip, Fenwick





This game was pretty funny. Each player is a zombie running through a train trying to get the best brain. Also on the train: government cheese, which doesn't make for a good brain, but it'll do in a pinch.

There's a pretty funny flurry of activity throughout the game. The game play is pretty straightforward -- roll dice, move, deal with the space you landed on, pick a card, install a brain (if you want).

It ended like this: Fenwick went over to try to steal Sean's brain, and forgot Sean was on the brake, with only one car left. This triggered the end of the game, and Sean's philosopher Ezekiel brain was easily enough to win!

What do we want!!

BBbbbbrrrrrraaaaaaaiiiiiins.

When do we want 'em!!!

BBbbbbrrrrrraaaaaaaiiiiiins.
