Session Report in Brief
Tribune fun as usual. Brian was the only one to satisfy victory conditions this time. Silly tribune requirement.
Power Grid China Map -- challenging. Just when i think I am getting the hang of power grid, I am throw at a map that is harder to handle that anticipated. Though for all that we moaned and groaned it was a fairly close game. Even if the connection costs were high and the resources pricey and scarce to start with.
Yay Agricola. As per usual the first game that i play I forget how to play. Too bad Sean and I only played one game.
And then we left, and I came to work, finished what i needed and now I go home and get some much needed sleep.

Are there any plans in the works for this Saturday? It appears that I will have a green light from the spouse to attend but not to host.
Random thoughts....
Probably be a few weeks at least before I'm board gaming again. Right now we're running on massive sleep deprivation. Thank goodness I live 0.5 miles from a Starbucks. Baby raising is fun.
World at War on XBL is more fun than I thought it would be. The game seems to be essentially a WW2 mod of CoD4, with driveable vehicles and some weirdness like attack dogs roaming around the battlefield. Perhaps they're a weapon upgrade? Anyway, the developers preserved the skill upgrade system from CoD4, which gave multiplayer grinding a purpose. I like it so far.
Fallout 3 is good, but I miss the old turn-based combat. I enjoyed Oblivion quite a bit, but Fallout 3 got rid of several annoying games from its ancestor, most notably being the speech-game mechanic every time you spoke to someone. My favorite weapon so far: The Ripper, essentially a Warhammer 40K-style chain sword.
I really like Dominion on BSW, but I wonder if its going to be significantly less fun playing the physical game with all the card shuffling, sorting, etc.
SW Clone Wars on Cartoon Network seems to be improving a bit, or perhaps I'm conditioning myself better to ignore the stupid robot comic relief. It does seem a tad creepy having the show portray the clones as the super goody good guys, when in reality they're just waiting to murder everyone in the room.
I finally watch the new Indiana Jones flick last night. WTF, Lucas? First Star Wars, now this.
Okay, that's enough hijacking for now.
Oh... I just re-read my post... yikes! I actually did mean baby raising IS fun. :) No sarcasm intended. Whew...
Okay, they just sold me on the game:
