Game night

We played The Crew which I had played once before a few years back at Gamehole Con.

It was great fun and I got to meet some new people.

It's one of those relatively rare things in boardgaming as it's cooperative. The play is trick-taking. Players are given cards and then they go on a "mission" which involves a player or, more often, players needing to win a round which includes a specific card. With multiple missions, i.e. - cards that needed to be won by a specific player, you can look ahead and try to modify your hand to accommodate victory. For instance, if a low card is needed for the win, then you can try to rid your hand of higher value cards of that same color so you don't end up winning the round.

Gaming got me all excited for Gamehole and I suspect the majority of people that were in the room are going to attend.
