Last night for board games night I showed up early and Riley let me in.  I got some of the Gyros Gyros falafel wrap for dinner, and it was delicious.  Riley decided to make some pizza, which was also really tasty.  I grabbed an angry orchard cider with elderflower, and it was really really good.

Chris showed up a little early and we played a game of Neuroshima Hex.  I was Blue and he was Green.  It was the first time I had played the game and I really like it.  Chris got an early lead, but once I got the hang of it I was able to get good traction and take him down.  The game went really well for me in both luck and figuring out the mechanics quickly.  BGG Link

Nima and Caryn then showed up and we played a round of Shadows Over Camelot.  The game was going really well, and then I decided to show that I was the traitor when we were all gathered around the Picks and I was supposed to put down the 5.  Nobody else had a 5, but they were all there.  They managed to get out of there, and even managed to finish the Picks since it didn’t come up for a while.  I was able to really hit them hard in a number of situations and the game ended when they lost the holy grail.  They weren’t doing very well in any other area either.  It would have been a close game even without me turning traitor.  BGG Link

Nima and Caryn left, and then 10 of us decided to get together to play a few rounds of Avalon.  It is just like the card game mafia, but with some expanded rules.  I think it makes the game actually fun since you can somewhat piece together who is who.  Chris was the Merlin character and he knew that he was going to be assassinated no matter what, which was right.  I think the game is fun and would love to play it again.  I was loyal both times, won the first, lost the second.  BGG Link
