Hi there. Thanks for dropping by. It’s that time of week again. Time to blog. So what’s there to say this week?<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
That’s all for this week. Have a good seven and we’ll do this all again next Monday. Carja V.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
