We didn't realize at the time, but the 29th of July was Richard Irving's last meeting with us, since "The Man" let him return home to Salinas. (Say "hi" to John Steinbeck for me!)

There was a game of RftG. Stacy & Richard I were in it. That's all I know.

The guys taught Stacy the #1 game on the Geek...and Richard L was nice enough to keep Stacy out of last place while Rich I & John fought to the last point.

Richard I 46
John 45
Stacy 38

I've realized that the last two times I taught this game, I've taught one rule wrong. Sadly, it's an important rule. The player with the least workers in hand does not pay ANYTHING on pay day... whoops. (Let's try it again with the right rule.)

A slightly more gamer-y version of Zooloretto... much fun.

Important safety tip: Will needs to learn to stop drawing from the bag.

Still hard to believe this classic Euro game was actually released in the U.S. by Milton Bradley.

Rich L's "no soup" was a bust... and Rich I managed to soak up lots of yummy stuff. I was surprised at how well the game worked w/3 players - I've always played it with more.

John's prototype, out for another test spin. My notes say "Will won" but don't tell me who he beat.
