Bah, last place in Carcassonne? This game sucks!
We actually played Traumfabrik with the correct rules for the first time at RussCon!
Apparently Sauron got his butt kicked handily by the human team. There was a higher than average number of team games played this evening for some reason... I was sad not to play Clue: The Museum Caper which Dan brought.
RichardH (who brought Und Tschüss last year) introduced RussCon to Tichu, a team tricktaking card game with rules that are initially odd but then start to make sense. (It also comes with 2 decks, and Dan can attest that one does not need to be unsealed to play the standard game.) It has an Asian flavor with special cards Mah-Jongg (the Hemp Sparrow), Faithful Dog, Phoenix, and Dragon. Um, and then there's "the Bomb". What you say? Somebody set up us the bomb.
A reminder: please write and spell clearly when recording game results, and remember last initials for people with common names, thanks!

The theme was "Russ got home too late to figure out a new soundtrack for this week!" But fear not, Gentle Reader, for next week's theme is already planned out!
