EndGame Tenth Anniversary

I cancelled my normal Kingmaker game today and instead went to Endgame's Xth anniversary party. I had a good time, playing several fun games with quite a few people that I don't get to game with enough (Aaron because he no longer lives in town, Bob, Brad, and Robert because our times don't tend to sync on Wednesdays). I think that in the future I'll go ahead and plan to attend these anniversary parties, even though they're not the big X (and not just for an hour or two before RPGing, like I did the last few years).

Games Played included: Ascension (with a win that proved I was able to take skills from the iOS game to the tabletop); Maharaja (also a win, but also a game that showed me Maharaja is usually too thinky for me); Sun, Sea & Sand (a game that I really enjoyed, especially thanks to the SimResort theming, which goes great with Oh Zoo Le Mio by the same author); team Innovation (which is the only way to play the game with 4); and Race for the Galaxy (my second play with the prestige rules, which sent one of the players right out to buy the expansion that includes them).

Between biking and about 6 hours of gaming and interacting, I'm pretty tired out, but will probably read for another hour or so before bed.

Oh, and congrats to Aaron, Chris, Chris, Anthony, Finn, and everyone else at Endgame for 10 years and for running one of the premier gamestores in the country for community and for fun.
