Gamers: Chip, Sara, Walter, Lewis, Kyle, Josh, Ben, Andrew
Thanks for Dave and crew for organizing UGVI! It was a lot of fun (:
LOST CITIES (0:57)
Sara: -17, 24, 173
Chip: 24, 27, 137
Sara and I played three quick rounds of Lost Cities to start things off. I really like this game, but I find the cards too big to shuffle comfortably. *shrug*
Sara quickly got the hang of this game after the first round, and beat me soundly by the last round.
MODERN ART (1:10 + 0:16 rules/setup)
Kyle: 510
Walter: 353
Chip: 340
Lewis: 331
Sara: 248
I played Modern Art for the first time last winter, so I jumped at the chance to play it again. Kyle expressed some reservations about playing with so many newbies, but he didn't complain too loudly when he won (:
I mispriced a few of my auctions and ended up buying more of my own pieces then I would have liked. We played with the variant that double-auction cards were evenly (albeit randomly) distributed among the players. I should have done better, as I was fortunate enough to receive the extra double card.
I like this game, although I've still got a lot to learn about it. I'd play it again.
PENGUIN ULTIMATUM (0:23 + 0:10 rules/setup)
Chip: 71
Josh: 70
Ben: 60
Sara: 49
Josh introduced us to this tile laying game. The artwork is very funny, and the gameplay is pretty simple.
I tried to distribute my penguins evenly, in order to take advantage of as many performances as possible. I think taking last place in every performance would be ideal, as you'd be able to gather all the performers for a big bonus at the end of the game.
I'd definitely play this game again.
TRANSAMERICA (0:41 + 0:15 setup and listen to prize table raffle)
Lewis: 10
Josh: 0
Chip: 0
Andrew: -1
Sara: -2
This light rails game was a great choice, as it didn't require much thought and was very interruptible. Lewis did extremely well, and the rest of us sort of muddled along.
