My family took a trip to my wives father’s house today and luckily I got in some unexpected gaming in with a few of my brother-in-laws. I had brought over a few board games (Zooloretto, Blokus, and Pandemic) thinking that I could rope some of the younger kids into playing, instead I ended up playing with two of the guys closer to my age (Chris and Mike).
First we played one of my new favorite games, Pandemic. We lost the first game within about eight minutes when Asia became overrun with all of the red disease cubes. At this point I looked at the guys and said, “Well there are three ways to lose and only one way to win”. Chris looked at me and responded,”Set it up again. We have to play this game again.” Not to many times that you lose a game this quickly and people want to play again. The next game we just barely won. One more time around the table and we would have ran out of cards in the draw deck, and thus lost. The guys wanted to play again but we needed to clear the table for dinner.
After dinner we decided to try out Blokus. I had brought this game along to try it out with some of the younger people there. Well, they all were busy doing their own things so it ended up being Chris, Mike, and me playing again. We played this game twice and I won twice. I have to say that the guys didn’t seem to like this game as much.
