I was fed up with long boring games that take all evening to play when they shouldn't, so I decided to choose some faster, lighter more fun games. First up 2 games of Ave Ceasar.
1st Steve, Matt, Neil, Paul, Garry
1st Paul, Garry Neil, Matt, Steve
Then a couple of games of Fearsome Floors (run away, run away!). I didn't think it was possible to analyse all the fun out of a game about running away from a monster, but I was wrong. Steve won the first game and Neil the second.
And we still had time for 3 hands of Hol's der Geier

13th Jan - 5 Games in one evening!!!!!
6th Jan - Key Market
Key Market is a great game and unfortunately out of print. It goes for crazy prices on the 'geek etc. It makes playing it a nerve racking experience, I watch every arm brushing past coffee mugs with my heart in my mouth. If they reprinted it it would do wonders for my blood pressure.

9th Dec - Tzolk'in
I really like Tolk'in, it has worker placement, resource gathering, multiple paths to victory and not too overly fiddly for what it is (I'm looking at you Bora Bora). But it also collects AP like nothing else. It should last about 90mins, but by half way the wheels are moving slower than tectonic plates on sedatives, I completely lost interest and my mind was wandering, (hmm... how many baked beans are there in a 14oz can?), I do like the game but...
Steve 67, Paul, 57, Matt 44, Garry 40
2nd Dec - Russian Railroads
This week another game of Russian Railroads, one of the better games from a lack luster year.
Steve 285, Garry 249, Matt 239
Then a game of Potato Man, the totaly brilliant trick taking game.
Matt 31, Steve 26, Garry 24
25th Nov - Goa
Matt's choice: This week we played Goa, bit of an old classic (apparently) I've only played it once before and I couldn't remember anything about it. Think it'll need a few more plays to get the hang of it.
Steve 44, Matt 40, Paul 39, Garry 26
18th Nov - Terra Mystica
Steve's choice: This week we played Terra Mystica - brilliant brilliant game.
Matt 115, Paul 106, Garry 102, Steve 85
Then time for a few rounds of No Thanks
Matt 144, Steve 199, Paul 281, Garry 291
