[boardgames] Sunday night rolled round again

[mylescorcoran]

It was boardgames again last night, this time without alaimacerc, off away at some weekend of drunken boardgaming of his own apparently.

So it was left to us (sammywol, irishkate and mylescorcoran) to play the Sunday night's games. We got out Ticket to Ride: Europe again and managed to fit in a game of Roll Through the Ages afterwards.

TtT:E was fun, with our first recorded 8 length track (and tunnel) from sammywol, who bridged the gap between Petrograd and Stockholm with aplomb (and no extra cards needed for her tunnel either: outrageous!)

Final scores were sammywol 121 (including longest route, and -5 for last minute ticket!), irishkate 101 and poor me in last place with 99.

We then got stuck into Roll Through the Ages and managed to get that done in less than an hour, quite sprightly for us I thought. The final score there was quite spread out: irishkate 39, me 30 and sammywol on 20. There was a bit more fighting over monuments in this one and the Great Wall proved a popular choice. Irishkate's Masonry development really clinched that for her and even my Great Pyramid didn't stand a chance against her. She was lucky with the disasters too, which counted for a lot, but not all of her lead. Good game.

You forget to mention that if I hadn't gone for a last minute ticket I would have scored 10 points less and you would have beaten me.

So thank you for that advice!

"With Aplomb"? Extra credit to Ms Wol for making a route to the sounds of my favourite Biffy Clyro track. :) (Except when some other one is, I guess.)

Not bad going for a double-header, time-wise. Must be a cunning combination a bit of practice with both of those, and getting rid of me. :)
