For the first game of the night, I brought out the new E&T card game. Sadly, it seems that I am the only one in the group who likes it. I feel its a lighter version of E&T (much like San Juan is a lighter version of Puerto Rico).

Ahh, another new to me game that arrived via Adam Spielt. Fortunately, Doug and Jon were game to try it out after putting it together (stickers on camels) and figuring out what the hell the rules meant. This game has some interesting features to it. There are three round of play and at the end of each round, thieves will steal certain items from caravans in certain locations. These locations are determined by three cards shuffled into five piles (one in front of each player and the other two on either side of the start player). The person can view the cards in front of themselves and during the round will be able to see two more sets of cards as they are passed around the table. So, you have 3/5 of the information and your goal to to avoid putting your camels in these places.

To finish out the night, Doug, Jon and myself played two games of Ubongo. This is a quick and fun puzzle solving game with tetris pieces. In the first game, I would have won if I would have Ubongoed first. But I did not, oh well. Still, it is a thrill when you Ubongo before the others…
