Saturday
Hey everyone! Just before we started gaming on Saturday we received a couple of e-mails from some of the folk who’ve been gaming with us at Borders on Monday nights. Since we were low on attendance from the regulars, we decided to invite them to join us. Attending were Bob and Carol Jones, Dave and Noreen Fair, Eric Haas, Bill and Jason Ruvinsky, and newcomers Lance Slifka and Melinda and Ruben Carbonell. We played a ton of games, ate some fantastic pies made by Melinda (who is a student pastry chef) and had a great time.
The tote is below, winner listed in bold.
We hope to see you at our next session in late August or early September!
| Tote Board | ||

| Thurn & Taxis | Ruben 26, Dave 21, Bob 20, Lance 16 | Bob: This
year’s winner of the German Game of the Year. Fun,
middle weight game with beautiful components. Similar in feel to Web of Power. Looking forward to playing this one again. |

| Blokus Trigon | Ruben 0, Noreen 11, Eric 15, Carol 17 | |
| Cronberg | Melinda 28, Lance 28, Dave 24, Bob 22 | Bob: First time playing this quick little tile laying game. Lots of opportunities for tactical play. |

| Formula Dé | Melinda 1st, Lance 2nd, Ruben 3rd, Noreen 4th, Cary 5th, Eric 6th, Dave DNF | Bob: Dave had a huge lead for most of this two lap race. Unfortunately, his widow spent the night scraping his remains off the wall of one of the turns. |
| Marco Polo | Bill 16, Carol 15, Jason 10, Bob 8 | |
| Streetcar | Bob, Jason, Carol, Bill | Bob: Nastiest game
of Streetcar ever. No one had a clean route, mainly because we put rude turns on other player’s tracks. Bill left the depot first and was the last to arrive due to a disastrous reading of the board. |
| Tichu | Bob/Noreen 1020, Dave/Jason 880 | Bob: An awesome
comeback by Dave and Jason wasn’t enough to secure the victory. |
