Whew...

Played a metric hectare of games this weekend, with a bunch of friends both old and new(ly met). I've got several new things in my "wishlist" for buying if/when I get tired of my current favorites, including Pandemic, Small Worlds, and Tsuro. Perhaps my favorite new game was the recently-published Battlestar Galactica, not least because I'd been trying to design a game recently that would have been extremely similar, but now it's been done and I don't have to! It's also done very well, at least from that one play. I'm definitely going to pick that one up if I have funds. Oh, and we (by 'we' I mean Pooky) seem to have invented a 3-player version of Mafia, which plays a bit more like Conspiracy.

And the tiger is torched. More on that later, including pictures (and perhaps video, if it came out worth a damn), but for now I'll leave you with the information that just because junk mail, cardboard, flour, and paint each burn easily, does not mean they'll burn easily together. :)

Who is Pooky? ;)

Pooky (the Magical Bear, of course) is a member of MafiaScum.net. He slept maybe 4 hours all weekend and by Sunday he was inventing games out of whole cloth. Too bad nobody else was buying what he was selling...
