Die Macher, a footnote??!! Heresy I say! ;)

And curses! Another playing of Hazienda that I missed. I am never going to get to play that game!

On a lighter note, sweet. I successfully avoided all pictures..

Well, maybe that was intentional. :)

And Hacienda is still a hot game for me. I'll play again next time if you are still wanting to play and don't get sucked into Mark's "Must Only Play Long Games" cult.

oooooh...Ad Acta! I, too, adore this game, but haven't been able to convince others of its brilliance. File away, Susan!

I did not really realize until the next morning what a great game Die Macher is as it took that long for my mind to catch up with everything that had gone on during the game from the previous day. While I immensely enjoyed playing Die Macher, and would gladly play it just about anytime and anywhere, the fact that it takes at least three hours maybe means that Die Macher almost needs to be scheduled to play, at least if I were to play again. I’m glad I got the opportunity to play “The King of Euros” and I hope to play again some time… but I would have to balance that against that of not being able to socialize as much. ;-) Again I had a great time and look forward to the next time.

Susan and Ed --

What a great game day report. Obviously, you folks had a lot of fun, especially considering that you weren't sure you would even get to play.

We haven't played any of the games you mentioned, and the only one we own is Hacienda, which is waiting its first trial (and I'm really getting antsy to play it).

Hope you have another good game weekend to report on this week.

I feel so… used. Although I now have bragging rights for having played the most dull-themed game ever conceived.

Hey Dan, just wait until you see what game we are going to spring on you next time! Just kidding :-) Actually, if there is a particular game that YOU want to play that we own, let me know and I'll re-read the rules in advance.
