Happiness is a Warm Gunner

I could write a long entry, but I won't.

Went to Nykkel's today, played board games. Theme was "new games we got that are good for 5 people", the 5 people being me, Nykkel, DJ, Phaedrus, and Sylffor. The first game was Aladdin's Dragons, which is a variation on an auction theme, and I actually kind of liked it once I got the hang of it. I'm not just saying this because I won. (Nykkel and I had the same number of artifacts at the end, but I had more of the tiebreaker ones. Arr.) Then we got dinner at the teriyaki place down the street, and my GOD is it cold outside today.

I got everyone to play Pirate's Cove, and I... still get annoyed by the amount of luck involved in that game. Nykkel won, because he sucks and kept getting everyone to attack me. Arr. It is a bit different with five people though, there's a lot more conflicts. Also, I like taking on the Legendary Pirates.

Phaedrus and Sylffor left at that point, and then the remaining three of us just hung out for an hour or two and talked about random stuff. I still have a sore throat so I didn't push to go play Karaoke Revolution. DJ's lending me some k-rad DVDs though! Wheeee! Pop'n'Live! So cool!

I was on PP for a brief time and Pierut hooked me up with some maps I'd been dying for. Wheee!

Tomorrow I should hopefully have time to check out a WOTC store or two... I bet all the good games are already gone.

Mwinzi and I are still looking to get a group together to play Cosmic Encounter again sometime. I mentioned this to Nykkel at the New Year's party at IZ, but I haven't heard back from him yet on if/when he was going to be able to arrange that.

I'd like to come to another one of these board-game parties sometime. They're fun. :)

I was amused by both of the games we played. And naturally Pirate's Cove is going to be a bit random, since you roll dice to determine practically everything of significance. (She's just annoyed because she lost. Arrrr. ;-) )

Kiefer, the difficulty in scheduling a gaming get-together that includes you is that I have to make a special point of NOT inviting three other people, as none of them get along well enough with you to invite them to the same gathering. I imagine you know who they are. This doesn't make it impossible to arrange one, of course.

I know who two of them are, but I wasn't aware that I'm now on THREE people's blacklists...

Ah well. :/

Maybe we could plan one like Mwinzi / Kiefer / Deanna / Me / Phaedrus and an optional sixth.

I'm sure Deanna loves the fact that we're talking about this in her livejournal. ;-)

I have ninety billion more games now that I can bring over. Arrr.

Yeah, whatever. I had almost wondered if I should have filtered the entry so Kiefer wouldn't see it in the first place since I didn't want him to feel left out. Mwinzi and I do want to play CE sometime.
