More gaming with nearby friends.
Our first game this evening was Sea Salt &
Paper
with the new "More Pepper" expansion. (Also my new
rulebook, for which I extracted the
icons from the printed rule sheets, turns out to work much better than
the old one, hurrah.) A somewhat chaotic game but I don't think the
Pepper rule changes were to blame. (I.e. I did very badly.)
Then Quiddler, in
which with hand sizes progressing from three to ten letter cards
(usually one, sometimes two letters) you're trying to assemble them
all into a set of words. I'm usually quite poor at anagram games but
perhaps I was in the right mood, or perhaps being able to rearrange
the physical cards made it easier. I'm not sure we ever got round the
table more than once before someone could get all their letters out,
though, and if so it wasn't by much. I feel that there might be design
tweaks which could make this much more satisfying.

Finally
Escape: The Curse of the
Temple,
which I don't believe I've ever played sober before. Good fun and we
very nearly made it out.
