The Sacramento Board Game Meetup group has started a second weekly game night at a local game store, Great Escape Games. Yesterday was the inaugural session for our Thursday night game gathering. We had about 12 in attendance. Here's a list of the games that I saw played. I may not have gotten all of them. Feel free to add the ones I missed, and details for the ones I saw but did not participate in.

Played by Jeff W., Daron, Paul, Michael, and I. We had a group of five and settled on this game, a favorite of my son's. I lagged early, built the bottom track and caught up, and then lost in the end when I was the only one to lose to the enemy in year 5. Michael won this by going with the defense tracks so that he didn't need to worry about soldiers.

I saw this being played by D.K. and others. They were using this recent version published by Fantasy Flight Games.

After finishing Kingsburg, we couldn't decide what to play. Jeff suggested we each pick a game. Then, each of us except Jeff eliminated a game, and this was left. Jeff was the only newcomer to this game. Daron managed to accumulate 4 jesters, and rode them to victory, scoring a work with a value of 29 in the last turn. I did fairly well, managing to fulfill two prestige cards for 12 points, but lost my 5 to Daron.
