The first game session of 2006 finished with the game during which we are pretty much guaranteed attendance. Blokus! The ease of play and colorful Tetris-like tiles attract even game newbies. This session was not played by newbies... it was mostly played by what could be accurately called the Math Center Gang.We had Thomas, Jake, Eugene, and Chris playing two rounds of Blokus.
Here's how the games went down (winners in bold):
| JAKE | EUGENE | THOMAS | CHRIS |
| -4 | -17 | -16 | -21 |
| -16 | -12 | -17 | -14 |
| SCORE TOTALS | |||
| -20 | -29 | -33 | -35 |
Jake did great on game #1 - he only had his 2x2 square piece left... and, he discovered, some creative/strategic playing earlier on would have allowed him to get rid of that.
Game #2 was super-close - close enough that Jakes early lead kept him in the lead when the scores where totaled up.
The first day of the game club: complete success! New games, lots of old faces, a bunch of new people stopping by to watch for a few moments, and FOUR HOURS of gaming in total.
