Event #134 Wrap Up

Saturday’s event may have been a bit quieter than usual, but for those of us that attended we definitely didn’t let that dampen our spirits!

I started the afternoon learning how to play ‘We’re Doomed’ with Brendan, Zac, Jimmy and Hobbo. What a laugh! I lost count of how many times we all betrayed each other in an effort to secure our own seat on the escape rocket. After being betrayed one (or ten) too many times, I had zero chance of claiming a seat for myself, so took the opportunity to destroy the whole rocket with just 1 minute to go, entirely out of pure spite. Sorry, not sorry.

A game of Kingdomino, followed by a couple of rounds of Flip 7, where luck was not on my side, took me to dinner time.

In the evening I joined Brendan and Jimmy again, along with Narelle this time, to learn the newly released expansion to ‘Viticulture’: ‘Bordeaux’. After a slow start, we started to see an early leader in Brendan breaking out from the rest of the pack. While Narelle and Jimmy fought valiantly to try and make up the difference, one could be forgiven for thinking that I sat there twiddling my thumbs for the whole game. After a last minute push, Brendan took out the game, winning by a point, with all 3 of my courageous competitors scoring within 4 points of one another. Meanwhile, I am ashamed to say that my final, pitiful, last ditch attempt to score points amounted in a score so embarrassingly low that I didn’t just lose the game, I also lost all hope that I would somehow manage to walk away from the table with any dignity still intact. Please keep me in your thoughts.
