Game night at Check's was long indeed (though we didn't play Puerto Rico as much as I kept insisting). We played three separate games: Nuclear War (weak; dammit I always get all the ones and twosies pop cards, while Check, Jeff and Chris got all the 25's; of course I'm not surprised I have NEVER got a 25), Citadels (good; with 5 players we almost ran out of gold!) and Goldbrau (good). I was handed my hat in all three, but in my defense winning isn't the only thing I find satisfying. Sometimes I find as much satisfaction in completing a strategy, amassing a fortune, or building towards some cool end. Yeah, I know. It's good to rub in the face of the little twit whose always rubbing it in that they win at Puerto Rico *every time* they play. Stupid Corn King strategy.
Speaking of game night, I played with the DC gamers back in November and haven't heard from them since. Usually that let you play with them three times before they summarily dismiss you. Perhaps they had strong feelings? Bah... how could they not love me <g>
