Game Night North v2006.05

April 12th, 2006
Host: JeffL
Guests: TroyMP, DanD, Kieron, JimG, Leroy

Havoc

JimG (win), JeffL, DanD, Leroy, Kieron, TroyMP

Six is the tough number for game night. Generally too many for most Euros but also doesn't naturally split into a smaller group. We decided to keep the group together and play Havoc. Learning game for Dan and Troy. Jim won the first battle to make sure the Peacekeeper was on his side of the table. The next battles went evenly around the table with Dan picking up 2nd in several of them. In the end game, Jim quickly called Havoc on each of the last three battles, winning two of them to seal the victory.

Hoity Toity (Adel Verpflichtet)

Kieron (win), JeffL, JimG, DanD, Leroy

Troy took off after Havoc and the group settled on playing Hoity Toity. Jim 'poisoned the well' by relating how Jill was turned off to this game the first time they played it. Their friend, Chris Brooks, abhors this game and was quite clear on that point in explaining the game to them last November at BGG.con. :) The underlying mechanic is a simultaneous action reveal ala 'rock, paper, scissors.' Needless to say, this story really turned the group on to the game and Kieron was most appreciative! ;) Kieron was the first to the banquet table and finished in first with Jeff placing second.
