Games Night II - Marathon Games Night

We had an excellent games night this week. Peter, Janine, Richard and Josie came and we played a game of Saboteur and everyone got their character right this time ;). Unfortunately I was too engrossed with the games and hosting to remember to take pictures (I have to remember the blog!), except right at the end. Janine and I were the Saboteurs in the first round and we successfully thwarted the dwarves. In the Second round it was Josie and I as Saboteurs and the Saboteurs again won, so I ended up winning the game, as we cut it after two rounds when Omid, Farid and Trista came.



After much consultation, negotiating and bargaining (a game in itself) Railroad Tycoon and Kremlin won out.

I really enjoy playing Railroad Tycoon and am glad I bought it as others also seem to enjoy it too. It is a mammoth game and almost takes up the whole table. Trista, Josie, Farid and I played Railroad Tycoon. This was a tight one. I was two points behind Farid at the end, but because I had achieved my goal and he didn't I edged him out by 4 points. That was my best game yet. I think I am getting the hang of it!



Meanwhile Omid and Peter taught Richard and Janine Kremlin. The original Party Chief managed to stay for five rounds and then Janine got power, but was not able to get a single wave, but she hung on and won in the 11th round. The longest game possible. Way to go Janine for you first game.



The hunger for Kremlin was not satiated, so we ordered a pizza and played another game. This time it was Josie, Richard, Omid and I. This game was quite different: the Party Chief died in the first round and Viktor Wasolin, the youngest character, replaced him with Richard in control. He waved in the first three rounds and Richard won the shortest possible game.

To round out a long night Josie, Richard, Omid and I played For Sale with Omid taking it quite handily.
