First night of GameTime Afterhours was a wonderfully fun time

by GamesMaster 2/5/2008 6:18:00 AM

As I walked south from Foster through the blanket of fog toward my home, I took a moment to reflect on tonight's game activities.  The main attraction of the night turned out to be a little known card game called Fluxx.  To explain the rules would be impossible, as the rules change while you play.  Not unlike Calvinball, albeit a little more structured, half a dozen of us were playing Fluxx at any given point throughout the night, discarding, picking up, resetting rules and the like.  I'm definitely eager to play that game again as soon as I can.  Perhaps Renea will be cordial enough to bring it on Thursday when she will be returning to GameTime Afterhours.

Several of us took a break from Fluxx to play a game of Scrabble.  The most memorable word combination of the night was "LIAR", where the 'R' also turned "BONE" into "BONER".  Dick, ironically, had the most to say about that word pairing.

Ray and I also had a chance to play a few head-to-head games of backgammon.  He was a most worthy and cordial opponent and I look forward to matching wits with him in the future.

Thanks to all who came out for the evening.  There were some strong personalities that helped make the games even more exciting.  Also, special thanks to Argo Tea - they were the most accomodating venue providers I have had the privilege to work with in some time.  We look forward to seeing you again every night this week for more GameTime Afterhours!

Always have fun,
Jacob

Hi everyone. I attended on Monday evening. Nice, fun (and good looking!?!) group of people. I am hoping to join you Friday for a bit ... on the early side. Scrabble, Euchre, Hearts, or yes, being introduced to a new game like Fluxx. Julie, Dick, and Jacob were great hosts, and I hope the group gains some healthy momentum (apologies for sounding like a consultant/MBA nerd). Giddy up! Enjoy the snow!
