December 27, 2007 Session Report

We had a total of six gamers in attendance tonight: Sarah, Paul and myself were joined by Tucker and his dad, Bob, along with a first-time visitor to the club, Nick, who lives in Laurel. Hopefully, we will see Nick return for future sessions.

We played a total of six different games, one of them (Uptown) was placed twice. Paul and I arrived first a finished up one hand of a new game, KGB vs CIA, and then we were joined by Sarah and Nick. We played two games of Uptown, and I managed somehow to win both (the first with just one group). Everyone seemed impressed with this new game, by virtue of the fact that it was played two times back-to-back. Next up was Ticket to Ride, and while others focused on finishing off those 15-point connections, I drew tickets twice and managed to get five tickets completed, including one I drew after already having the connection -- but it was a close finish, as I barely made a 20-point ticket when Sarah ended the game. Meanwhile, Tucker and Bob had arrived and Tucker "schooled" his dad in Lost Cities.

Our longest game of the evening turned out to be a six-player Slapshot. Sarah triggered the end game by winning the regular season, but Paul swept through the playoffs, beating me, Bob and finally Sarah in an exciting best of five game final. Then we kept everyone involved by playing a couple of rounds of TransAmerica before the 10 PM closing time.

Hope everyone had a good time, and hope to see more of you next year in 2008 !
