Picture of the month...

My good friend Kelly at the cottage teaching everyone Dominion

Pics from games night at the Uni...

Another couple Monday nights at the University of Waterloo and a whole bunch of board gaming....

Asara - God, what a great game!  Why don't we play this more...

Worms Up! - A rather silly game that I quite enjoy.  Not so much for the others.

EmDo (Eminent Domain) - The latest deck-building craze which I have yet to play.

Black Friday, Friday, market's gonna crash on Friday, Fun, Fun, Fun, Fun....

Lost Cities: The Board Game - This version sucks compared to the addictive Keltis. Fail.

At the Gates of Loyang - Epic harvesting.  Thoughtful, enjoyable, but a commitment.

In The Year of The Dragon - Such sweet pain.

Wizard Extreme - Wizard!  But extreme!  (Minus the wizards yet surprisingly MORE nasty...)

Zertz - Favourite new abstract due to the clever built-in endgame timer.

Long weekend gaming pics...

Some great games played Sunday and Monday.  I finally played Black Friday with the correct rules and can confirm that it is a brilliant game, elegant and tense.  I learned what it's like too have way too much money in Dominion - gotta love it.  And I found out that Wallace's London may be one of his best games yet and has something that a lot of his games often lack - fun!  And I took two more off my February list of games I need to play...  Doing good.


Black Friday makes for a very good Sunday

A devastating loss in Pandemic...

Serengeti - tricky little card game

Space Alert took some getting used to.  And my partner thought we were the biggest nerds ever while the CD played.



Ah, more money and colonies......

Building casinos in Vegas Showdown

London....   MUST play this again.  Quite good.

Empire Builder.  Classic.  They were on hour 4 when I left.  Mathematicians....

Hansa Teutonica.  Need to play this more.



Playing in the sand....

Award-winning gaming pics...

Been struggling a bit since I got back from my trip to make the time for updating this here bloggy thing.  Been prepping for my new job which starts tomorrow, including the acquisition of an Ontario learner's license.  Hopefully the readers aren't dropping like flies...  (Nah, you're a devoted bunch, right?)  Will post a poker variant later today and maybe a review this week.  Picked up Taluva thanks to GamerChris' recommendation and will be wanting to talk more about that little delight as well.

For now, here's some delightful award-winning photos.  Check out BGN for more details on to this year's IGPA contest and even more photos.  (Click on the pictures to embiggen them.)

Some recent game pics...

Haven't posted in a while due to a misplaced camera and a very important job interview (cross fingers!!!)
So here's a few pics from the last couple weeks: a cabin weekend and games night.  Back with more soon.

A game of '10 days in Asia'.  Review coming soon...

Teaching the fantastic 'Samarkand'

Beer goggles on another hand of 'Tichu'

'11 Nimmt' (Take 11) - fun, relaxing, but not as good as '6 Nimmt'

'Leaping Lemmings' at games night - weird, surprisingly fun, but WAY, WAY too long

 

Another excellent game of 'Age of Steam' - I can't get enough of this classic game.  Such delicious tension.

Escher vs. Wrede...
