Session Reports -- Of Sorts

So I arrived to gaming after a nice morning of mostly not working. The band was in full swing, and there had been food other than pizza for lunch. It was looking like a fantastic day of gaming. I even got to play two new games. Our gracious host, Chris, was kind enough to teach me Thebes while the band rocked out. Thebes was a pleasant game, as long as you werent pulling dirt out of the bag for 6 of your 7 draws, but it was nice to see some real world stuff in some sort of perspective.

I wonder if anyone would buy a research game if they knew how long it actually took to research stuff. Hmmmmm...

Then, we broke out Zooloretto, with some babies, and some expansioness. We had gotten through the rules when the band broke up, and Dennis joined us for a nice game of smashing Chris and myself into the ground.

Then some piratey fun was had with Rum and Pirates. Simple enough game, but still fun. A lot of beer was had by the pirates, though apparently the real points come from treasure maps.

After that -- cards. We played "Waiting for a Third" and some Lamarkian, at least I think that might be how its spelled, poker.

After which, we dispersed to find food and prepare ourselves for a hard days work Sunday. At least that was the plan.

Though I will say that I am glad that I went home and not to work as usual after gaming. I would hate to see how flooded my apartment would have been if i had waited three hours to show up. Stupid upstairs residents and their leaky washer. My kitchen, dining room, and bathroom area are solidly underwater. It would be amusing. If it wasnt me. But that might mean that I have some friends over to the model unit for some gaming. Tikal maybe. :)
