Another week of gaming

Hello!!!! How is everyone doing today? Once again, Chris was nice enough to type up some of the gaming info, so, here it is...

Great day of gaming: FOUR GAME TABLES GOING AT ONCE!!

The attendance list of players:

AJ (P)

Ashlei (P)

Christine (P)

Fenwick (P)

Heather (P)

Kaylin (N)

Kevin (P)

Mike2 (P)

Patrick (N)

Patrick (P)

Rich (N)

Sam (NINJA. Seriously.)

Sean (P)

TJ (N)

Here's some of the stuff that went down:


Blink

Players: Kaylin (N), Patrick (N)

Score: Kaylin wins this speedy game.



Ticket to Ride

Players: Ashlei (P), Fenwick (P)

Score: Fenwick had 88 points. Ashlei had 100 points, and the 10 point long train bonus. With 110 points, Ashlei wins!


Figaro

Players: Ashlei (P), Christine (P), Patrick (P), Fenwick (P)

Score: This game is scored by length of cardboard you collect during the game. Long bits are bad... Patrick had the longest bits, Fenwick was next. Ashlei had smaller bits, but it was Christine who ended up winning, by about a millimeter. Christine wins!


Pepper

Players: Ashlei (P), Christine (P), Patrick (P), Fenwick (P), Kevin (P)

Score: We only got in 2 games. Game one was a long one -- Ashlei won that one! The second was shorter, and Kevin managed to win, before he had to head off to work.


Blink

Players: TJ (N), Patrick (P), AJ (P), Patrick (N), Sean (P)

Score: OK, a LOT of games were played. Not surprising, since the game lasts about a minute.... Here's the run down:

Game 1 - TJ

Game 2 - TJ

Game 3 - TJ

Game 4 - TJ

Game 5 - TJ

Game 6 - TJ

Game 7 - TJ

Game 8 - TJ

Game 9 - TJ

Game 10 - TJ

Game 11 - TJ

Game 12 - TJ

Game 13 - Patrick (N)

Game 14 - Patrick (P)

Game 15 - Patrick (N)

Game 16 - Patrick (P)

Game 17 - Sean

Game 18 - Sean

Game 19 - Sean

Everyone note what Chris said:

The comment on the sheet is: "A game of speed.... is it any wonder the ninja triumphed?" Not sure who wrote it. Probably a ninja, though I didn't know they were literate.

Psshhhh…

Ninjas are so above that. I won’t take the bait and stoop to his level.


The Great Dalmuti

Players: Kaylin (N), Heather (P), TJ (N), Mike2 (P)

Score: The first 2 rounds had Kaylin as the Great Dalmuti, and the next 5 had TJ leading the pack. TJ's Great Dalmutihood definitely indicates him as a winner. In this game. For now. Stinking Ninja.

My comments: More proof that Ninjas rule.


Aquarius

Players: Heather (P), Kaylin (N)

Score: One round. Kaylin wins!


Cartagena

Players: Kaylin (ninja), Heather (PIRATE!), Sean (PIRATE!)

Score: Heather had 4 on the boat. Sean had 5. Kaylin got her 6 on the boat first, for the win! That’s because Ninjas are way more stealthy and skilled than Pirates.


Zeus on the Loose

Players: Mike2 (P), Angie (N), Sam (NINJA. Seriously.), Rich (N), Heather (P), Pat ((B)P)

Score: 5 rounds were played!!

Round 1: Heather

Round 2: Pat

Round 3: Heather

Round 4: Sam

Round 5: Mike2

Quote on the page: "Sam is a Ninja…because I said so…because I am a bitch." -- Angie


Word Rummy

Players: Sean (P), Fenwick (P), Cathy Willms (P)

Score: Fenwick had 110 points. Sean was dominating most of the game and had 269. Cathy Willms nearly doubled her score on her last hand, coming from behind and winning with 305 points!! Boo ya!!



Quiddler

Players: Sam (Ninja. SERIOUSLY.), Sean (P), Angie (N)

Score: Angie had 223. Sean had 231. Sam the Ninja had 236! And won!

But, according to the score sheet comment section: "Sam is retarded." Cuz he is. Really…Ninja or not…he is. >D


Boggle

Players: Chris (P), Ashlei (P), Alyssa (P), Chrissy (P), Cathy Willms (P)

Score: After a few rounds -- Ashlei had 7 points. Chrissy and Cathy had 2. Alyssa had 1. Fenwick had 18! But only because he cheats off of everyone else.


Engel & Bengel

Players: Mike2 (P), Rich (N), Heather (P)

Score: The scores were not accurately recorded, but it was clear that Heather won the game!


Power Grid

Players: Kaylin (N), Sean (P), Mike1 (P)

Score: Mike1 triggered end game with 20 cities... Mike1 and Sean managed to power 13 cities in that final round. Kaylin powered 17 – Kaylin, and remember she is a NINJA, wins!!


Quiddler

Players: Ashlei (P), Fenwick (P), Kevin (P), Christine (P), Heather (P), Patrick ((B)P), Mike2 (P)

Score: Heather had 43. Mike2 had 46. Ashlei had 58. Christine had 60. Kevin had 94. Patrick had 98. Fenwick WON THE GAME with 107!!

Better Late Than Never!

Hello hello! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Things have been a little bit crazy (for example, my mom borrowed my camera and I didn't have any pictures to post. Yay mom! I love you mommy!!). I don't have all the gaming information for the past few weeks yet, but I'm working on it! Okay, first things first:

FEBRUARY 26th, 2007 WILL BE OUR FIRST THEMED GAME DAY!
We will be celebrating that day as
PAJAMA DAY!


Also, Kaylin has been kind enough to make us score sheets, so make sure you keep track of your games on those!



Now for some gaming info:

February 5, 2007


And we have a Quote of the Day!

"I can hold plenty of things in my hand..." -Christine. We all know it wasn't ment to sound that bad...hahahahaha.


Cartagena

Players: Fenwick, Sean, Kaylin, Angie

While this game is primarily for................................................Pirates (ewwwww...), Kaylin and I were kind enough to participate in playing against Sean and Chris.

Of course...a Pirate won.

And, of course, it's Sean. Kaylin was close behind with 4 men on the boat, leaving Chris and me tied with 3 people. But I place higher cuz I said so. >D


Engel & Bengel

Players: Ashlei, Ninja Patrick, Pirate Patrick, and Heather.

It is important for me to inform you that this game was being played at the same time as Cartagena, so the Pirates only won this game too because they were grouped close together and using Pirate tricks to cheat. Ninjas don't cheat. We lost with honor.

Final results were:

Heather wins with 500 points. Ashlei had 450, Patrick the Ninja finished ahead of Patrick the Pirate 350 points to 150.


Trans America, baby!

Players: Me, Kaylin, Fenwick, Mke 2, and Rachel

This game is definitely one of my personal favorites. Therefore, I won by default. Aside from that, I have no idea what the scores were. ^^; Boo ya!

Ninjas win!


Rage

Players: Uhh....this changed a bit throughout the game, but the people who had their names on the scoresheet were Sam, Fenwick, Christine, Sean/Heather, Ashlei, Me, Mike 2, and TJ/Pirate Patrick.

Note: This game really does get people angry. So if you're going to play with Ashlei, make sure you play in a soundproof room, haha. ;)

This is also the game where we got our Quote of the Day from.

For anyone who doesn't know the rules, basically, you start with 10 cards and are dealt one less every time until you get to 1. You have to bid on how many times you can win per hand, and you lose points when you don't make your bid, and sometimes you lose points anyway when you win. Stupid -5 cards. To win, screw over as many people as you can. :)

In the end, Sam won because he wins every game he plays, but it's okay because despite what he says, he's a Ninja. I have evidence to prove it! So it was a victory for the Ninjas!

Sam had 21, Chris 12, Christine 9, Sean/Heather 14, Ashlei -15, Me 10, Mike 2 -16, and TJ/ Pirate Patrick -1.


Ticket to Ride

Players: Fenwick, Sean, Ashlei, Mike 2, and Me partnered with Rich cuz I have ADD. >D

I have to say this game is definitely a lot of fun. And darn you Sean for getting longest track bonus!!! It was only by 1!!

Overall scores were Sean 115, Me and Rich 89, Mike 2 83, Fenwick 65, and Ashlei with 48.



PIRATES v. NINJAS
Pirates won.
3-2

Sam looks like the bigger winner in this set.

Kaylin wins!

---------------

Betrayal at House on the Hill

Players: Sean (P), TJ (N), Rich (N), Nolan (N), Mike2 (P)

Notes: The scenario turned out to be "The Feast". The Traitor was TJ. And he was trying to have his cannibal freaks devour the flesh of his fellow inhabitants. He failed miserably. Survivors Sean, Rich, Nolan, and Mike2 secreted the hapless victims away, and mercilessly slaughtered TJ's cannibal freaks.

The Heroes win!

---------------

Betrayal at House on the Hill

Players: TJ (N), Mike2 (P), Victoria (N), Paul (P), Ashlei (P), Patrick (N)

Notes: The scenario turned out to be "It's Alive!". The house became alive, with Ashlei attempting to keep it that way. The survivors had to kill the house by using The Spear to attack The Brain or The Heart, located in The Attic or The Organ Room, respectively. TJ already had The Spear, and when the Organ Room appeared, he quickly made his way there. Surrounded by Antibodies, he fought his way through the swarm, plunging The Spear deep within the house's Heart.

Heroes win!

---------------

Power Grid

Players: Fenwick (P), Sean (P), Kaylin (N), Mike1 (P)

Score: Kaylin built 20 buildings first, and could power 18. Sean built 17, could power 16. Mike1 built 18, could power 17. Fenwick built 19, could power 14.

Kaylin wins!

Notes: Sean had to go fetch the game from his car, which is where it most often resides. Since it has been cold, REALLY cold, steadily for the past bunch of days, all the pieces were quite chilly when we opened the box. It was actually kind of a nifty sensation extracting the cold pieces. Kaylin remarked, "I think we should refrigerate ALL the games."


---------------

Treehouse

Players: Nolan (N), Kaylin (N)

Score: The winners went like this... Round 1 - Kaylin. Round 2 - Kaylin. Round 3 - Nolan. Round 4 - Nolan. Round 5 - Nolan.

Nolan won 3 out of 5, so this match goes to him.

---------------

Citadels

Players: Mike2 (P), Rich (N), Christina (P), Carlo (N), TJ (N)

Score: TJ (triggered endgame) - 37. Chrissy - 30. Mike2 - 21. Carlo - 21. Rich - 14.

TJ takes this game. Soundly.

---------------

Pepper

Players: Rich (N), Mike (P), TJ (N), Fenwick (P)

Score: The winners went like this... Round 1 - Fenwick. Round 2 - TJ. Round 3 - Fenwick.

Fenwick has to be given the win here.

---------------

Boggle

Players: Ashlei (P), Cathy Willms (P), Chrissy (P), Fenwick (P)

Notes: We didn't keep accurate score of this, but Fenwick did kick some serious butt. It's safe to say Fenwick is the winner.



PIRATES vs. NINJAS
Ninjas won.
13-6*


*When keeping score for games like Betrayal, if the Heroes win, each player scores a point for their team. If the traitor wins, he/she alone gets a point for the team. So, if you have 4 Pirates and 3 Ninjas playing, and one of the Ninjas in the traitor, if the Heroes win, the Pirates get 4 points and the Ninjas only get 2. K? Keep that in mind. I'm being fair!
