The theme, as decided by Ashley, our Trumpeteer...



And many games were played.

Let's see who played, and what got played...

• Ashlei
  
• Ashley
  
• Brian2
  
• Can't-Stop
  
• Cassy
  
• Crystal
  
• Dan
  
• Eden
  
• Fenwick
  
• Harper-Dylan
  
• Jeff (Clavus <-- new nickname!)
  
• Jess
  
• Joe
  
• Joe, a different one
  
• Krysta
  
• Liz
  
• May
  
• Mitesh
  
• Nolan
  
• Patrick
  
• Sam
  
• Steven
  

• Blockhead
  • The old 70's stacking game Blockhead came out first today. Brian2, Jeff (Clavus), Fenwick, and Sam played as people filed in. Fenwick lost #1. Jeff lost #2. Sam lost #3. Jeff lost #4. Fenwick lost #5. Brian2 was tho only one not to lose, so we shall deem Brian2 the winner!
  
  
• Blokus
  • Steven and Ashley played a game of 2-player Blokus. Steven had -8, and Ashley had -5 for the win!
  • Nolan was back! Nolan was big in the club a year ago, and he stopped by to get some transfer info, and managed to get in a few games of Blokus with Fenwick. We played 3 games. Fenwick won game 1. Nolan won games 2 and 3.
  
  
• Cloodle
  • A five player game... Eden, Ashley, Sam, Jess, Fenwick. Cloodle is a co-op game... we all race against the clock! We played twice -- we lost the first one, and won the second.
  
  
• Hamsterolle
  • Four of us loaded up the wheel! It was Jeff (Clavus), Brian2, Steven, and Fenwick. Clavus wrecked the wheel, forcing Fenwick to put an easy piece to allow Steven to easily place his last piece for the win.
  • Another game of the 'rolle was played. Liz, Crystal, Joe, and Harper-Dylan played. No one noted who one, though. It shall ever be a mystery...
  
  
• Mix-Up
  • This is a nice, quick, Connect-4-on-crack kind of game. Brian2 and Fenwick played a couple games. Fenwick won them both...
  • Then, Crystal and Harper-Dylan played! Harper-Dylan won them both...
  
  
• Oodles of Doodles
  • I know a buncha people played this, but we didn't record the scores! I at least wanted to make sure I gave it a mention...
  
  
• Quiddler
  • A 5-player game... The scores, in order from lowest to highest: Fenwick (221), Sam (237), Eden (244), Krysta (256), with Ashlei winning with a very respectable 321 (100 points in front of Fenwick, please notice)!
  • A second, very short, game of Quiddler was played. The 5 players included Can't-Stop, Joe, May, Mitesh, and Dan. Dan won by a point!
  • ANOTHER GAME of Quiddler was done. Jess was begging (in a friendly way) for a decent game of Quiddler with a small group of veterans. Four were playing: Ashley, Jess, Steve, Cassy. The scores (ascendingly)... Ashley (234), Steven (246), Cassy (249), Jess won with 272!
  
  
• Sculptorades
  • The best part of of Cranium, all by itself! It's a co-op game, we all play against the clock and win (or lose), as one. 6 of us played: Brian2, Jeff (Clavus), Ashlei, Patrick, Sam, and Fenwick. We played 3 games. Due to some confusion (mostly from Clavus), we're not sure if we won game 1. But we certainly won games 2 and 3!
  
  
• Ta Yu
  • I love this gorgeous game. It doesn't come out too much because it's just for two, and takes some time and space. But Fenwick and Steven got to play! Fenwick got 8 on one side, 5 on the other side equals 40 points. Steven got 7 and 7 to give him 49 for the win!
  
  
• Thumb Wrestling
  • Just adding this to see if anyone is paying attention... Mitesh and Ashley thumb wrestled. Mitesh won. (Of course, his hand could palm a wok -- he was at a distinct advantage...)
  
  
• Traverse
  • A four player game (the only good way to play, really)... Eden, Mitesh, Joe, and Fenwick. Joe could have done fine, if Mitesh didn't strategical block his last move, until he finished up. Mitesh for the win!
  
  
• Tsuro
  • A 6-player game... [Eden, Krysta, Sam, Jess, Ashley, Fenwick]. Ashley wins!
  • Another game was played with J... (it was just written as "J"... don't know who that is!), Crystal, Ashley, Steven, and Liz. Liz and Ashley ended with a stalemate!
