March 6, 2008 Session Report

We had a total of nine gamers for tonight's session, which these days equals our average attendance. Clayton, Doug, Paul, Sarah, Nick, Ben, Neil, Tom and myself were in attendance. We played a total of six different games: Parlay, Masons, Munchkin, Ticket to Ride, Kreta and Target.

The evening opened with a six-player Parlay game, which we picked up after just a couple of hands, after Sarah pulled into a commanding lead with a 195-point score using "Clumpy" for a nice length and poker bonus. We then divided into two groups, four of us playing Masons, which Neil had brought; Ben won a close game by just two points. The rest of us played Munchkin, which Sarah had just bought, and Doug and Nick handled most of the rules explanation. Clayton was the first to get to within one level of victory and thus, had the bulls eye on his back. This enabled me to sneak in with the win after most of the increased combat value cards had been played, mostly to stop Clayton.

The next set of games were also played with two groups: Ben, Nick, Sarah and I tackled Kreta which wound up in a close battle between Nick and myself that concluded in a tie. Ben's farmer strategy (he wound up with seven farm tiles) did not pay off as he wound up a distant third. The other table played Ticket to Ride (won by Paul) and Target (also won by Paul).
