It was Thanksgiving last year that I discovered the joys of Carcassonne... hard to believe it's been a year now. Perhaps I will commemorate the event by ceasing to include the Carcassonne image with each RussCon Report...
We had a good close Stephensons Rocket game (final score distribution 43 44 50 53).
Globbo was designed by Allen, so it was with great anticipation and joy that I played him at his own game. My theory after playing with RussD a few weeks ago was that Globbo had the advantage. Turns out RussD and I were misinterpreting a rule (attacking a hex with multiple kids does not kill them all), but still Globbo seems to have an advantage, and I bested Allen at his own game, ultimately creating a 4-headed Globbo along the way.
JP & I played several games of Cosmic Coasters, which proved to be quite nifty. It's a 2 player strategy game played with drink coasters. The game comes with 4; each player uses 1 with the map side up and 1 with the rules side up... Each coaster has a special power, and we discovered that Rapid Transit vs Stinging Defense resulted in quick 10 minute games (as advertised) but Teleport Inhibitor vs Warning System took a very long time (at least 45 minutes, I'd estimate). We're not sure if our playing style just changed or if the latter powers just interacted to make a long game. Anyway, I want to play this game more. Thanks to Jeffles for donating it to RussCon!
