Its phantom nun ghoul of prophecy...or something

So when I arrived at about 6:30 Sean was sitting at a table with Inkognito spread out on the table and Travis was headed out the door. While Travis wandered off in search of sustenance Sean and I attempted to tackle the rules. Travis wanders back with this food, and Jon and Brian trickle in. At this point Inkognito was set aside in favor the the attack of the easter color palet pastel camel game -- rather Through the Desert.

After a phenomenal game of wait -- what color is that-- wait thats a tree I need those points and you blocked me, Jon wandered off with Chris to play some baseball while Rob tried valiantly to get Tikal on the table.

(And I do appreciate it. Really I do. I will always play Tikal, always, and should people who don't know how to play wish to learn, I will be more than willing to corrupt the innocent. I might even be willing to learn to play war games or things of the like in return, corrupt the corrupter, or something.)

Brian, Travis, Sean and I ended up playing a lovely soothing game that reminded me of dominoes in a very vague fashion. I cannot remember the name of the game, but Sean and Brian were victorious over Travis and me. During this time Rob left with his copy if Tikal (it is a shame that you could not stay and play. next time, there shall be gaming.you should join and play Tikal on spielbyweb)

After a brief diversion/discussion into/on the world of epigenetics with Brian, Travis, Sean and I played Cartegena. After some hopping around Sean got tired of not winning and took the game, stranding two of my pirates and two of Travis's pirates on the prison, watching their comrades sail away with all the rum.

Chris and Jon finished their game during this, and while Chris left Jon watched the end of our game, and tired to foil Travis while he was playing to keep him from victory, but Sean had the game in hand and did not need the assistance.

And so at 9:30, we four brilliant players decided that playing and learning Inkognito would be a fantastic idea. Sean and I had a pretty good handle on the rules, but I will say that a game of logical deduction at the end of an evening of gaming and working is not the best idea. We got distracted several times by the Phantom of Prophecy, who's Identity and Attributes were much debated. Finally Jon ended the game, declaring that he and Sean were, correctly, the winners, and away we went, back home to sleep and rest until another fantastic Monday of gaming.

This was the first Monday that I got to stay the entire time, and it was fantastically enjoyable (and a much needed distraction from life) so I thank all of you who came to play games. It was fun. And will happen again.
