Bert, SmileyChris, Kodiak and I played Kill Dr Lucky the last two nights. Bert took the first night, and Kodiak won last night. I keep doing these excellent card combos to attempt a murder on the lucky one, only to realise that someone in another room can see me. So that started a house rule that tabled cards are not returnable to your hand. I’ve done that three times now. Smiley and Bert would crack up laughing when I did it. I have to laugh at myself for being so stupid. Then Bert went and did it and I had my turn at laughing! I tell you, board games are better in real life than say on the computer – the computer will tell you when you can’t do something, not other players… 🙂

I went into Mindscapes this arvo. Mindscapes is this store that sells heaps of really cool stuff, like board games, telescopes, books, puzzles, etc. I hate that place 😉 – they take my money in return for fabulous games! I usually go in there about once a month, and today I discover they have Cheapass Games! (so cheap, even their website is made of cardboard!) So I’m like “Yeah, you guys rule!” and then part with NZ$70. I bought Kill Dr Lucky and Girl Genius – The Works. Dr Lucky was $20, and I can’t wait to play it 🙂 I played GGTW with Smiley’s little brother Andrew who is down with his family for the weekend. He beat me. Isn’t tht always the case?
