I was blown away this evening by the incredible reception that GameTime Afterhours gathered today and over the course of the week at Argo Tea on Randolph Street. Eleven people came out for games and socializing.
Kalin and I played a head-to-head Settlers of Catan game, using it as a teaching opportunity for some of our other guests. We're still working out some of the details for our two-player variation - suggestions are welcome.
Just as we were wrapping up the Settlers game, four gents from University of Chicago stopped in and we decided to put together some Texas Hold'Em. Using Monopoly money in lieu of chips, which turned out to be a wonderful substitution, we played winner-keeps-all. I had to step away, so I didn't catch the final winner, but it became a close head-to-head match when I met up with Phil Simborg to discuss the club vision.
