lazy day and gamey night
Oct. 2nd, 2004 01:41 amDidn't do much of objective worth today.
Bumped into
nickjong today while I was headed for the bus to
rupes's place for games night. Or, to be more precise, he snuck up on me. We came to the consensus that the 174 bus sucks, at least at 6:30pm on Fridays.
Played Goa, Through the Desert, and Tichu. Through the Desert was amusing but not paricularly compelling; the sea of pastel-colored camels just made me dizzy after a while. Tichu was Tichu. Goa, however, was very impressive. I enjoyed it greatly, as it seemed to have some interesting subtleties, and fit nicely into that sphere of economic development games that I like so much (it even had little wooden pieces for commodities) However, I still think (and expressed as much to
rupes) that the Expedition card track is slightly overpowered.
If I don't buy it in the short term, I will likely ask for it for Christmas. That is, if I can get both that and the new Twilight Imperium. ^_^
