What I did instead of Trashfest

L Updated
There Will Be Games

So, I didn't Go to Trashfest.  I could have. I probably should have.   It ends up a good thing that I didn't go, but I regret it.   

I had a final project due Monday that my group ended up working on Sunday.  (my last project, last assignment in college...ever?)   so ok.   

The going away/baby shower my wife's work threw us friday, that was pretty cool. ok.

Taking the wife to the airport on saturday rather than paying the crazy prices for parking at the airport for a week.  ok.  

so, valid excuses.   Plus I got to go to Spiel at VT's saturday gameday.   not bad. 

 I just received FFG's Warrior Knights in a trade for Galactic Emperor and was pumped to play it.    So I showed up and the other guys who really like AT weren't there.   shit.

 ah well, I got there late, so several people were involved in a game of Citadels, another pair in Balloon cup.   So i waited and played some silly bingo-esque-mathy game to kill the time.

 Then about 5 people were free and asked me what I wanted to play

 Hell yeah! "Warrior Knights"

 and then I got irritated.

I was told, "I don't want to invest 3 hours in a game I don't know"  

but how will you ever know if you will like it?

 and "I don't want to waste the time to learn it, let's play Imperial instead"

 Ok..I want to learn to play Imperial...but technically wouldn't it be a waste of my time too?   eesh, Normally I won't say no to learning a game.   but for him, I made an exception.

I don't mine people not wanting to play.   but those responses both just irked me....

 still, got some good gaming in.   

Innsmouth Escape - this was pretty good..some of the scotland yard/FoD feel while not nearly as long.   I'd like to try being the human, our player got stomped hard.

Twilight Struggle - 3rd play, 1st win.   Soviets end up controlling south/central america & the middle east uncontested.   fighting over Europe and letting the US take most of Asia.    Turn 4 win for the soviets. woo!

Container - okay, boring as shit theme.   but it was neat to see how the players control the economy.   we played with the "beginner's variant" where you can sell one of your produced conex's for 2 bucks.   I can see how this would stagnate without this greasing the economy.   I won, I wouldn't mind playing again, but only with certain people.

 Cosmic Encouter - cosmic goodness

Dune - some dude had bought this at a garage sale the day before for $10.   and sat next to me punching it while we played container.   so I had to try it.   my reaction: eh....I need to try again with more people.   we didn't play with the "advanced"  rules ....and that seems like it would give it alot of flavor.  AAAAnd we only played with 4.  seems like 5 or 6 would make things alot more interesting, with alliances and such.   

 

and sunday, the kitchen flooded.   joy
