Gang of Four

Players: Angie (N), Sam [Angie's sister] (N), Ashlei (P), Fenwick (P)

Score: Sam had 105. Fenwick had 69. Ashlei had 49. And Angie had 1 point. In this game, points are bad. The most amazing person in the world…ANGIE…WINS.

Puerto Rico

Apples to Apples

Players: Josh (P), Mike2 (P), Heather (P), Richard (N), Angie (N), Patrick (N), Sam [Angie's sister] (N), Colin (P)

Score: There was no accurate score recorded, just an indication that there was a tie. There is an illustration of a hook clashing with a shuriken, so I think the tie was between the two warring factions of Pirates and Ninjas.

Basically, for this game everyone was playing but Patrick was lame and decided he didn’t want to have fun with it. Then the game ended and everyone moved on to the next best thing.



Lotus

Players: Cathy Willms (P), Phil (no affiliation), Ashlei (P), Fenwick (P)

Score: Fenwick did worst, leaving 2 pieces on the board. Phil and Ashlei were down to one, but Cathy Willms won the game, getting all her pieces off first!

Boggle

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

Score: After 4 rounds, Cathy Willms had 9 points, Ashlei had 37, and Fenwick won with 46 points because he has a pocket dictionary that helps him cheat. >D.



Pepper

Players: Patrick (bP), Mike2 (P), Cathy Willms (P), Sam (N), Dan (P), Paul (P)

Score: There's not really a score in Pepper, it's just who wins the hand... and here's how that went...
1st round: Paul
2nd round: Sam
3rd round: Patrick
4th round: Sam
5th round: Sam
6th round: Sam

Is anyone surprised a ninja won?

Zeus on the Loose

Players: Sam (N), Paul (P), Heather (P), Patrick (bP), Dan (P)

Score: Once again -- there's not really a score, just who wins the hand. And once again, here's how it goes...
1st round: Sam
2nd round: Paul
3rd round: Heather
4th round: Paul

Score: Fenwick had 68. Sam had 77. Angie wins with 105! Boo ya!

Ashlei thinks she's cool cuz she's a pirate.

She's not.

But she's cool cuz she's wearing the Fenwick hat. >D

Heather had awesome pants. I actually used to have the same pair

Yay for pants!

This shirt is so not true.

Ninjas can steal too.

We're better at it.

Better than you.

Pitch 6

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

Score: This game is a real struggle for points. It is a quick trick-taking game. There are only a max of 6 points per round. And if you bid high to be able to declare the trump suit, you actually have the possibility of LOSING points.

Here's the final scores:
Ashlei: -3
Chrissy: 3
Fenwick: 8
Cathy Willms: 12

Cathy won the game. AND, incidentally, she was the only player to never go negative. Yeah Cathy! Even if you are a Pirate, you're still cool!

Score: The score was not recorded fully -- the only indication was that there was a tie between Pirates and Ninjas...



Betrayal at House on the Hill

Players: Rich (N), Mike2 (P), Dan (P), Rachael (P)

Score: The scenario turned out to be "The Phantom's Embrace". Mike2 turned out to be the traitor. The heroes task: Save the girl from the Phantom, and difuse the bomb. The heroes playing had to go, except for Rich. He ended up playing as all the heroes! Which turned out to be OK, since he rescued them all and got them out of the house. Heroes win. Heroes always win!! At least when they're led by a Ninja. >D



Power Grid

Players: Fenwick (P), Ashlei (P), Sean (P), TJ (N), Angie (N)

Score: We played a somewhat abbreviated game -- normally it's played to 15 buildings. We played to 10. TJ saved up some major cash, and in a flurry of construction built his 10 first. On that round, Sean and Fenwick powered 7 buildings. Ashlei and Angie powered 8 buildings. Power to the A’s baby! TJ powered 9 buildings, winning him the game.

And now we know that we were actually playing wrong the whole time. hahaha.

Happy gaming pictures!!!!

This picture has too many different games and too many people.

So it goes here cuz it's awesome. :D

some pirates just don't know when to quit.

This is the real picture. see? Sam's a ninja.

Chrissy is the big cheese!!

I don't want to know what is on his face...

bahahaha...

okay okay, it's chocolate. ;)




I'm not sure who won this day yet, because some people didn't record their team affiliations.

As a result, I have one thing to say to them.

YOU GUYS SUCK!!

And everyone else, please note:

Any games that do not have Pirate/Ninja written down by each player's name will not be included in the blog. Basically, it'll be like the game never happened. That means no points. K? Cool.

That's all folks!
