Wow, what a fantastic day of gaming! Great games, too. I'm a big fan of Princes of Florence, although we haven't played it for a while. Ticket to Ride is a favorite in our family, and I would really like to try Marklin. Problem is -- I need games for SIX players, and I don't think the TtR series can be easily adapted to that number. However, if I figure a way to play six at TtR, maybe I can do the same for Marklin.

Dang, from my own gaming friends not even a mention of the first edition of 3D Settlers on the web (http://www.io.com/~beckerdo/games/articles/SettlersIV.html).

Eek! Dan, in my haste to finish the report, I completely forgot about your set. I haven't been to that page in ages and forgot how nice it looks as well. Yours has a lot more contrast between colors and would be easier to see. Bring it to a game day so we can play it!

Susan,

I though the theme of your games day was an "&" day:

Beans & Rice (required for expensive Settlers)
Cash & Guns
City & Guilds
Grab & Hold (territory)
Builders & Prestige (Princes of Florence)
Laying & Moving (routes and passengers)

I really like your summaries.

I didn't think my review of Cities and Guilds was that harsh. I'd play it again. I mainly thought we should play with less than the full quota of players.

Alan: LoL, thanks! I hereby nominate you to write all my future headings!

Brian: Perhaps "harsh" was too harsh of a word?? Maybe "critical" would be better?
