Friday evening is traditionally game night for the family. Today, I was home for work early so the kids and I got a start in the afternoon.
Our first game was their first play of Space Hulk (second edition). The kids combined to play the Marines against my Genestealers. I wrote a session report about the game: Junior Space Marines take on grizzled Genestealers..
After we had put away the game, my wife said there was time for a quick game before dinner, so I picked Forbidden Island since it was a game with which we were all familiar. We started on the Elite level since we were well experienced. The four adventurers vainly searched for the four treasures but only collected three before the island sank beneath the waves.
After dinner, I introduced the kids to another new game: Ticket to Ride. The kids had played before but never with the full rules. My wife was looking good throughout the game while my daughter appeared to be having trouble. My son connected Seattle to NY but didn't have much else going on. I connected NY to LA and was trying to add Portland to Nashville when I realized I would be one train short. But when the game ended, my daughter had done much better than expected and finished 2nd.
Final score: Wife 149, Daughter 101, Me 83, Son 66. I thought the kids did well for a first game although my son simply didn't complete enough tickets.
After the game is was time for the children to go to bed but I still wanted to play Ticket to Ride so I got out Ticket to Ride: Switzerland for a 2 player game with my wife. Things went much better for me in this game and I was able to connect numerous tickets to Bern.
Final Score: Me 149, wife 80.
