K, I'm coming down with the bug every other bugger in the office has had, so I'm just finishing covering the welfare desk then going home. In the meantime, Sunday...

Got to GameSoc late, (most of the people that said they'd ring did, which meant I was delayed by answering the phone to people who were making sure I wouldn't be late- that and getting angry about an ID cards article I'd read while eating brunch) and met up with nearly_everyone, people were playing Tongiaki and Pirate's Cove, so I watched and then we played Scrabble. Well, 4 of us did, mapp insisted on scoring. ( Scrabbletastic... Short version? I win. Big time. ). Fun, but not a game I want to play regularly.
Fluxx: Bloody silly game. paulatpingu wins be cheating (I think). Always fun, always silly.
Doom, the Board Game: Now, you know this is going to go wrong when the first question someone asks is "When is PVP enabled"? ( Doom? Doomed we were )
Fun, very Space Hulk like, worth another blast sometime but nothing to take seriously.
Domaine: Written (IIRC) by the same guy that made Settlers of Catan, with artwork by Franz Vohwinkel (who I've met), one of those games that looks complicated but really isn't.
Amun Re: Egyption pyramid building. ( The Nile floods... ) Can anyone remember who won?

So, 5 different games played in 8 hours. That's pretty good, very cool. Thx all for a pretty good day. Right, time to vacate the office, I actually finished work half an hour ago but, well, Simon's telling stories from his cruise work...

Did I mention I'm ill? It's man-flu for sure, but, well, I'm still ill.
