Manifest Destiny

Ahh, another meaty and long (why am I suddenly reminded of Dan’s dice tower?) game day. I am one happy camper. We started out with Manifest Destiny. And I was hesitant to play at first. After all, I did not want to ruin my perfect record against Adam. But we played anyways. The game was going good after a while (3 hours?). However, the game started to get towards the end and the nasty cards came out! Boy, did they ever! Jon really threw a nasty card at me. I was the only one in North USA and he played what Adam terms the “black death card.” I had to vacate all but two of those areas! And loose my cities! Gah!

Which really brought home the feeling that why would I want to spend three hours playing this game if in the last rounds, I can have nasty random cards thrown at me which move me to third place. Now really, why??

Lexio

Coincidently enough, we ended around 6pm. So we started another game of Lexio. And did this game ever make up for the bad aftertaste in my mouth. I ruled at this game! Sadly, we could not cause Adam to loose all of his money.

Titan

O.M.F.G.! I have wanted to play this game for a long time. When Adam walked in the door with Antiquity and Titan and we had five players, I was really tempted to throw someone else out. Like Mike. But now we had six players and everyone agreed to play! Woo woo!

Fortunately, I was not anhilated early and survived to the final two (with Doug). We played for a little bit, but soon realized that we would not end the game early (like before 6am). So we called it a tie!
