Game Night
Finally! Other people to play board games with! All it took was two of the more avid video gamers to relocate to another state for those of us remaining here to dust off the board games and gather around the table. Okay...maybe that's not entirely fair. Before they moved there were a few nights of poker or darts....
A small group was introduced to Cineplexity on Saturday night...to much success (though I have yet to find a copy of the game in a Barnes and Noble). We only had four players and despite the knowledge base between all of us, we were stumped and stymied a few times too many. The game had been a hit with the girls of the costume shop back in the Berkshires too. I personally find it more fun in a larger group. 6 to 8 sounds about right. And while alcohol is not required (nor should it necessarily be encourage in order to have fun) its application does lead to far more vocal and outlandish rounds.
Next on the table was Settlers of Catan. A quarter of our party opted for bed at that point, leaving three of us to duke it out over the terrain. We only made it two games in before 3am rolled around. So our host was unable to whip out Ticket to Ride. Perhaps another night.
And in the future I may be able to coerce another player or two to join.

I wish I could play Settlers of Catan with you. I only played it once in Mississippi and I sucked at it. I just wasn't in the cards for me. I was like the Welsh, trying to colonize something.
Anyway, after our Sex in the City like reunion with cocktails and lunch in some fine restaurant somewhere, we should pull out the game and play it on the table over coffee.
I've never had the fortune to play Cineplexity. I do long for the day that should finally happen for me.
You'll have one more player plus a GM come October! (Can't wait!)
