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.

A few thoughts before gaming

In tonight’s dream, I was taking a class of some kind from a woman; she was a dancer, so maybe it was a dance class. She kept course material stored beneath her toenails. Her toes looked perfectly normal, but she could pick at them and expose the corners of sheets of paper, and then I’d tug, and a full sheet would come out. She must have had dozens, maybe hundreds, of sheets concealed beneath her perfectly normal-looking toenails.

I thought I hadn’t lost any weight this week, but looking over my records shows I am a pound lighter this morning than I was last Saturmorn. The muscle development thing seems to be going better — I keep finding parts of me that just feel different than they did a month ago. Even the palms of my hands feel different, I noticed the other day.
