Sunday night brought the Roman Empire onto Slab City Road, always a welcome theme. With my collection of Italian games growing, and this game missing,  I may have to grab it from Mike when he isn't looking.

This was an interesting game with surprising depth and quick play with enough luck of the draw to say that is how Mike won.

Supper....yumm

Mike's Review Corner

Not bad

Finished with a game of Clank! where Dave pulled out an impressive win. Mike went on a tear adding clank after clank into the bag and we were going mad when his color never got pulled. 

Zombie!!!

With Halloween around the corner the three amigos wanted to start out with a thematic game. 3 of us were suppose to be fighting the good fight, trying to save the colony from devastation - one of us was full of betrayal. I found it harder than usual to stay the course and try to sabotage the colony but surprisingly every time I was being second guessed by Dave I was protected by Mike in that he would remind Dave that I possibly could be acting irrationally because I was trying to accomplish my secret agenda and not necessarily the traitor. In the end, with morale down to 2, I found sending 5 of the folks I was controlling back to the colony home was enough to not get them fed, morale fell by 2 and I pulled off a win. Sneaky but so satisfying. 

CLANK! has turned into a favorite rather quick game and so ends the evening playing. Mike pulled off a close win with second place only 3 points away from him. He chose to run in get a relic quick and run out. I found myself fooling around the top of the board when I noticed him escaping with a relic. I had just enough time to run down and get 2 relics and escape. Dave was also able to escape barely himself picking up 20 valuable points. 

LOTUS

No pics of Lotus but we did get 2 fun games of this in and I would gladly play again. A fun, light and rather quick card game. And so ends a night of fun filled gaming

Oh for meals Lisa whipped out a lasagna that was delicious. Bread and salad complimented the meal.
