Let's do it again, when it's cooler

The Games Club folks have just left. We had mnemex, Dvd, Beth, and Mark (who may not count since he’s staying over anyway). We played Citadels, a pretty cool role-taking game (these are games like Verräter, or Meuterer or Puerto Rico, where there are a bunch of roles that determine what a player can do, and each player chooses a role each round) that supports from two to eight players. I think it’s the simplest of the role-taking games I’ve seen so far, and may server as a good introduction to the mechanic. It’s also fun. I’m looking forward to playing with the variant roles.

We also played a five-hand game of Too Many Cooks, which I might have won if I hadn’t made a stupid move in the fourth round due to forgetting that Mnemex and I were going for the same goal. I actually managed to pull off a successful No Soup For You round even with akawil sitting to my right going for the same goal. I think this is my third or fourth time playing Too Many Cooks, and I keep liking it.

Josh figured that for our first game (he was the only one who’d played before) we should play with the original characters (plus the Artist), but afterwards we more or less agreed that next time we should use the Witch.
