If only we had known the witch was deaf!

It's the October 2013 monthly game day recap!

We had 7 people, a new record!

Exclamation!

Al introduced us to the Old Fashioned, a drink I (Mike) really, really like. I think it's my favorite of all of the drinks Al has made. It's perfectly balanced and super smooth. It takes the edge off the alcohol without too much sweetness or fruitiness, yet those flavors are certainly present. I'm going to attempt this one myself soon.

Battling to see who is the King of Tokyo

We started the gaming with King of Tokyo. It's a push-your-luck dice game. Think Yahtzee but with giant monsters battling it out in Tokyo. It's a quick game but with 7 people, it takes several turns around the table to end. For those killed off early on, it was a spectator game. In the end, my Cyber Bunny narrowly defeated Jasmine's Pandakai. I then continued on to destroy Tokyo. That's not part of the game, but I did it anyway.

Scary and victorious!

Next was Cutthroat Caverns, a game where everyone works together to kills monsters but since only the person who lands the killing blow gets credit, the cooperation only extends so far. Tuna tried to 'cheat' yet again by obscuring his score but his plan didn't quite work this time. At least he picked the right game to try to backstab everyone.

Next was Story War, a storytelling game that was new for all of us. One player is a judge and teams of the other players tell stories about why their warriors (everything from witches and wizards to dragons, rats, and pretty much anything else) would defeat the other team. The point is to be creative but it often devolved into arguing. There were some fun moments and some stressful ones. We all thought it could use some more structure. Perhaps next time.

The highlight of Story War was Al declaring that his Banshee's wail was incapacitating Valerie's Witch and Valerie immediately declaring her Witch deaf. Brilliant move!

Mike Face Palm (I'm not sure why but it must have been good)

We finished up by playing Cards Against Humanity for a while. Another fun day with a lot of great food and drink as always.

To wrap it all up, here's one more photo...
