Rowan Tree and Red Thread

With irishkate away, we had just three for Wednesday's game night. alaimacerc had tales to tell from the last Tentacles convention in Germany so we took a while to settle down to playing a game of Ticket to Ride: Europe. It started out a very Western Europe sort of game, with track laid pretty much from Edinburgh to Cadiz and most point in between. sammywol and alaimacerc branched out east before I did, but we all managed to fill all our tickets. Tunnels were hard to build, with a lot of gnashing of teeth when two locos turned up in the three cards for the tunnel more than once.

alaimacerc deftly (or unconsciously; it's not always clear) block both sammywol's and my efforts at grabbing the longest line and got the bonus 10 points for himself. Unfortunately to do it, he had built a lot of 2 and 3 length lines and was well behind on the scoring track when sammywol ran her carriages out.

Final scores: Myles: 61+56+12 = 129, alaimacerc: 54+51+12+10 = 127, sammywol: 69+38+12 = 119. Yay me!
