We had another good attendance at Crepeville this week, with about 27 people in attendance.

I'll get the list started with the games I saw being played. I may not get all of the names right. Please help me fill in the details by commenting on the games I did see and adding the ones I didn't.

For more information about our group, visit http://boardgames.meetup.com/19

Howard brought his copy of this game, and I thought it is about time for me to learn it. D.K. and newcomer Eric joined us. I picked this game up quite well and ended up running away with the win.

A group pulled out this favorite tile laying game. I believe they were using both the Inns and Cathedrals and Trader and Builder expansions.

This game is extremely abstract, but I'm the type of person who doesn't mind that at all. I love this game. Very simple rules, yet a deep and tricky game. This game also plays quick, which is a large plus for me. I can't decide where I want to put this game on my top 10 yet, but a very fun game.

Michael, D.K., Ben and I competed for King Phillip's favor. Ben was playing for the first time, and did quite well, although he did finish fourth. Michael managed to win primarily my building massive amounts in the castle in both the 2nd and 3rd parts of the game.

Now that I see the true value of gold, I think I will do better next time. A fun play...Would be crazily inaccessible to most of my friends, so I probably wouldn't purchase, but will always enjoy a play at the meetup.

There were several of us that liked it well enough to play two weeks in a row. It was a different game each time for me - way different.

Thank you, David. You'd think I've seen him enough to remember his name. I guess the problem is that I haven't interacted with him enough. He and I rarely play in the same game.

A holdover from my teaching days-I try to 'get names'as part of making everyone feel welcome and included. Geez, I miss Tuesday nites-if ever things settle down w/ the baby (and a closer, more convenient Crepeville) I'd love to get back into the "Tuesday groove"

One of our members has suggested we might want to consider moving to the Crepeville at 24th St. and 2nd Ave. Although it is not much closer, it might be more convenient, as parking is apparently not as much of an issue. He also says that location is larger.
