Looks like it's a week before the 5th anniversay.
Today we had at least 5 'new members', some first timers, others who joined within the past 2 months. Around 20 people attended in all and we had to have 4 games on the tables (with my group and Dean's sharing the centre table.
As far as I'm aware, GMs were: Dean, Me (Philip), Don, Chris.
My group played Incan Gold and then Mundus Novus. I lost both... spectacularly. I think both games were won by one of the 1st timers: Fiona. Also played in this were Daniel, Jo and Mark (Fiona's boyfriend).
A particularly welcome sight was Daniel's girlfriend, Jo and 3 of their pet rats... Please don't mention their pressence to Emma. She's petrified of mice and rats after her experiences in a previous home, now dubbed "The House of Mouse".
It was another good evening. See you next week!
Rats? I didn't see the rates. I used to have a couple of pet rats too; they're extremely clean creatures as I discovered. It's the tail that gets to most people, for reasons I don't quite fathom. It was amazing to see the place full.
I played (and won, hurrah) Don's game of Constantinopolis, with Stephen, Mat and Jadzia. An interesting and potentially in-depth game once you figured out what was going on, not very high on the fun factor though. Whilst not quite as bad as Race for the Galaxy, there was still a bit of the feeling that you were mostly each playing your own solo game, only really coming together once per turn to sort out the turn order.
