Here we sit on a Tuesday night in the middle of a game of Battlestar Galactica. With Lisa using the dining/gaming room as her bed room this shows to the extent of what diegards will go through for a game. For weeks it consisted of dragging out a table, setting up chairs, moving furniture and putting it all back when we finished which usually was early Wednesday morning. Good games, good friends and good fun. Note that this is pre spilling of the beer on Roberts game. Something you don't think will happen to you till it does.
The game of life is not so much in holding a good hand as playing a poor hand well. - H. T. Leslie

Wife Kicks Booty
Settlers of Catan Card Game
Enjoyed a game Saturday with my dear wife. I say dear hoping she reads this and that next time we play she shows some mercy and gives me a chance to stay close in this game.
Right off the bat she pulls both Abbeys and what does she do??? Plays one and holds the other until I have wasted every resource looking for it. By the time we were half way finished with the game I was certain there was only one Abbey in the game and I would have to contact the manufacturer and beg for the missing card.
I suppose it was only a matter of time that she picked up my cut throat ways in boardgames and use it against me.
Thankfully the night was coming fast (we were playing outside) and we had to call the game at a high score of 10 as opposed to 12. I feel lucky I had 5 points at the end. I'll be more prepared next time, to at least give her a challenge.
