Change of Location (16 June 2010)

Peter was at a meeting so Wednesday games were at our house. Though with the games played and the people attending it felt more like Friday night games.

Frank's Zoo
Starting the evening with Frank's Zoo has almost become a habit. A six player game certainly means big swings in the scores. But Anna was in the lead until the last hand when John (and I) jumped ahead.

Anna   6 11 15 16 18
Andrew 3  7 12 15 16
Ian    5  6 12 14 21
John B 3  9 11 16 23
Anne  -1  3  2  9 13
John R 5  3  8 12 11

Havoc: The Hundred Year War
I bought this card game in a bunch of six games via TradeMe a few months ago. It turns out to be game of building up your hand of cards, choosing your battles (showdowns) and bluff. (Here and here is the story of the games design) We got two rules wrong: there should have been an extra recruiting round before the first battle and you can use any dogs from the battle (not just those outside the battle). It turned out to be a hit.

Anna   26 (winner on the second tie break)
John B 26
Andrew 19
Anne   18
Ian    16
John R 13
