Hi there. Thanks for dropping by. It’s that time of week again. Time to blog. So what’s there to say this week?
I logged in today and saw that I had 163 comments waiting for approval. How many of those were spam? You guessed it, 163. There were a LOT of clock hand links…Maybe I’m attracting the tinker spam. I need to find a more efficient way of deleting spam. Next time I’ll have to remember to check if WordPress allows for more than 20 comments to be displayed at once.
There was no Bandit Baby strip on Friday. I’ll post last week’s installment after I finish this blog entry. I don’t get home on Fridays until after 10 and by then I’ve had plenty of time to forget and I never think to check over the weekend. I need to get it done in the morning.
Tuesday was another fun experience. I introduced Swords and Strongholds to somebody and got to try out two new games, one of which I’ve owned for years but have never played. I can’t remember the name of the first game, but it was a nice little card game with some interesting combos. The second was Small World. It’s a LOT longer than I thought and I got home WAY late. How fortunate that there was a snow storm to keep me from having to go in to work the next day. I also met some potential opponents for X-Wing Miniatures.
Our hosts are on vacation this week so they asked some of us to fill in and teach our favorite games. It’s cool that they included me. I really feel like a part of the group. I’ll be playing Tokaido and Dice Town.
I got to try the Dark Gothic expansion on Friday. It’s a smaller stand-alone set designed for 2-3 players (the original set accommodates 2-6 players). They did a really good job of cranking up the pressure in the game. With the original set we’ve never gotten close to losing to the Shadows. In the 3 games we played with just the expansion, we still managed to pull through, but it was a lot closer. The new cards are rough but I like that. We’ll have to see how mixing both sets together goes. I’m wondering if it’ll dilute things too much. I might have to refine the deck for the optimal experience.
That’s all for this week. Have a good seven and we’ll do this all again next Monday. Carja V.
