Hey all! Here’s the summary of the July 10 game session.

We played Bang! near the end of the night and for the first time, everyone knew the rules and was familiar with all the cards. The game went very quickly and was a blast. There’s a weird learning curve with the game but once you get it, it's loads of fun.

You will note that at one point, Carol had won 6 games in a row!
