jackWith the absense of CTS, I went to games evening. This always leads to an episode full of pseudojokes which just aren't funny.
Q. Did you hear about the guy who sat there like a chump -- literally[1] -- for six rounds?
A. No, what?
Q. He dealt 16 points of damage and own[2]ed the game in one round because he had two attack-twice-for-four-damge-if-you-have-this-other-card cards, and this other card.
Q. Did you hear about the guy who put his last Carcossone piece on a road, and then turned up a cloister and couldn't use it? Twice?
We played magic, castles in the air, and carcossone. Public Service Announcement: farmers are good for the environment. I don't know how representative my experience is, but both games I won by being the only person with m/any farmers. Though this game I was ahead even before that because I unfairly stole a place in the great big city two other people were building, and negated their advantage; though we did move the fourth player back rather than three forward, putting her unfortunately negative. (*hugs Jaqueline*)
[1] Chump blocker: a small creature that dies to deflect a big creature. One of our opponents had a deck of many little glass beads being put under out control. Also useful against anything for which card art is an effect. And good for 'colourless weenie' jokes.
[2] Won. But "own" that was a typo and I thought it was funnier. I *so* need an acronym for that, that isn't PNI.
