After a late evening, I managed to get to the local board game club (where we did our world record game tests) to celebrate TableTop day. I arrived at 9:30 pm, 30 mins before closing but there were still many people there.
I recognized a few faces, 2 of them were at the convention where we held the record.
Also, 4 people were starting a game of Dominion and I was asked to jump in, so naturally I did! Never played it so this was a good opportunity.
The rules aren't that difficult and we did not play with any expansions (I think
). Game lasted longer than anticipated ending at almost half hour past Midnight (from starting roughly a quarter to 10 pm).
I don't remember the final scoring but It's safe to say I came last, with a mere 11 points (after 5 Curse cards calculation x_x). Definately hope to play this again but not something I am going to buy.
The people there are just amazing and cheerful and so easy to talk to. We bonded and I got to know those 6 people that stayed. Afterwards, we closed up the club and took a stroll further down town until it was time to say goodbye.
We are celebrating Vahlborg here in Sweden, basically our "demonstration day" where most of us get drunk the night before and have demonstration marches the day after (May 1st).
I didn't drink though, got to be up in a few hours for the football game "today", Sunday morning.
I also became a member at the club and will try to visit more often to play games with them, and hopefully give you guys some more game reviews and session reports (on top of everything else that I am falling behind on.
).
A really great ending for this day. Hope you guys had as great on the England meetup and elsewhere around the globe. Cheers!
Paul
