If I didn't know better, I'd think people let me win both games of Carcassonne.
Daniel's spirit vehicle was a train, and he won Union Pacific. Coincidence? Or proof that unseen ectoplasmic forces influence our lives? You be the judge.
I was pleased to play 2 of my favorite decapitation games.
Meta Party GameI was the Meta Devil. Unfortunately I dropped the ball on this one and didn't email out a Meta Game. I came up with a game in honor of my impending birthday: Earn a meta point each time you play a game in which 40 is mentioned as significant in the rules. E.g. in the Trainsport games, you start with $40. But I didn't explain this very clearly. :) People marked Metro and Samarkand as Meta in the book just because they have 40 printed on the scoretrack (but there's nothing special about 40), but hey, they tried, so what the hell, I'll count it that way. Thus the only meta points earned were for those 2 games, and the meta scores are:2 points: MarkY RussD Zack
The 3-way tie for first is broken randomly by my magic die from the original TSR Dungeon boardgame, and the winner is MarkY! So MarkY will design next week's Meta Party Game! Woohoo! And I know he'll be here next week since he said he wants to learn Carcassonne. :) |

By the way, I think I'm getting close to formulating an overhaul to the ratings system. Just so you know.
The Shakespeare Programming Language meme seems to be making the rounds.
