Tichu and Race continue their streak of plays, though Race seems to be down to 1 or 2 games a week now.

Shane S., Shane L., Mike, and Jared. Shane S. and I played with 2 rough & ready cards each round since we've played a lot and the other 2 were new.

I'll let Shane S. write up the story this time if he likes, since I usually beat him to it =) Suffice it to say everyone had a blast, some ships were decimated, but everyone made a profit in the end.

I don't really have a story to write up this time, so feel free if you want. But it was fun as always! I love this game every time..weither I lose badly (Which happens often), or I pull off a win (Which I somehow managed this time). And the rough roads just makes the game even more enjoyable. Rolling cosmic psychosis after every card, hoping not to get 7 and 7 and lose half your ship. Someday I will have a copy of this one.

2nd game was Donald & Kenny versus Jared and Matt C. It only took 1 hour, 50 minutes. Dan wins the over/under bet by a long shot :P

A pretty crazy game; first round had Donald & Kenny pulling off a One-Two, but we followed up by instantly getting a One-Two the very next round. It continued to be a bit back and forth, with Donald & Kenny edging away and threatening a win (845 to 655, I believe).

Until Matt and I pulled off a Tichu+One-Two, netting us a very nice 300 points and bringing us into the lead =) The final round I felt I could've Tichued, but played it safe and went for points - I was able to bomb the dragon and we were able to get most of the remaining points to push us over 1000. A very good game all around.

First game was me and Matt C vs James and Kenny. We had intended to go to 800 but ended up quitting at 500 as more players arrived.

Shane L... left this behind. And he left his Keythedral rules with it! Will it be yet another month until he sees his Keythedral rules again? Time will tell...

He got a phone call just as I was leaving and bugged out pretty quickly. Hope everything's alright.

Hey, people actually played this? cool. I've brought Take it to the Limit a few times but never thought to pull it out of the box. Maybe next time; that is, if people enjoyed this...

I believe Shane L is pretty interested in Take it to the Limit.

Pretty close one; the top 2 scores were only about $5 apart.

I'm thinking Chris likes this game..

I finally could've had a chance to play this since Chris showed up just after we finished Galaxy Trucker, but there's no way an unplayed game I think I'll like can compete with Crokinole =)
