Games, Round 2
Tim crushed us at Alhambra again. Wall wall wall. Did I say wall?
We finally got in our game of Caylus. Kat and Chris duked it out for first, with Kat winning. Five player is harsh, especially if you are the last to go first round. In a very weird coincidence, we all placed in initial turn order, with about 5-10 points between each player.
We snuck in a game of Titan: the Arena with a new player, Ken, squeaking in a tie-break win (without a secret bet).
Then we busted out Amun-Re, with me sitting out to be game adjutator. It was the first time for the majority of players, and they were getting the basics down. Kat realized being pharoah was good, and slapped everyone around, but, iirc, Chris got in the win based on Temple points.
What is a game day without a quick Apples to Apples game, that Chris was able to get to 5 points first. This had the notable play of Barney beating out Romeo & Juliet in the category Melodramatic… never try to outsmart the mother of a two-year old!
We ended the game with seven player Shadows over Camelot, with good King Brian as our leader. We more or less kicked ass at the start, winning the Grail in record time, and piling on Excalibur for an easy win. Chris decided to reveal himself (through a special card) as the traitor and taunted us mercilessly. We came close to defeat by Seige Engines a couple of times, but were basically able to stem the tide until we had lost enough quests to get 12 swords total on the board for a lose-to-win win.
