Crepeville this Tuesday didn't appear that crowded. Yet, I tally nearly two dozen players, albeit there were only 4 or so core gaming groups and a couple of spinoffs.
I was tucked in the corner, so I'm sure I missed some games and names-please annotate.

With Phil, Don, and Seth playing pocket pool, I eagerly jumped at the chance to pimp my fave tweener/opener. I had taught Phil a while back, so he helped w/ the Splainin' while I pulled the unused cards and set the dice.
This was my first time playing correctly (divvy up the cards, THEN auction off the auction pile at the end. seriously).
I quickly latched on to the Supply, and made a half-hearted effort at the Illuminators. The Bishops did their usual see-saw. The auction saw mostly gold and low values across the board. With Don snagging Illuminators, I dumped them for gold and snagged a few Manuscripts, which was enough to lowball them for the pips.

This looked silly, but fun and was played by a boisterous group of 4-6 at the middle tables.

After Scripts and Scribes, Phil was hankering for Agricola. I'm not a fan, but since Phil had graciously indulged me in Scripts and Scribes and since the other games were full and ongoing, I delved into the farms once again. I puttered along mostly with sheep and basic improvements, but really couldn't wrap my head around the improvement/occupations tracks-snagging only a fireplace and liquid manure. Still, I got my huts to stone, some fields and fences. I met both of my goals: crack double digits and not suck in last place
