Jason and Rory played a game of Fifty Fruity. This is a fun little game about convincing people to take a bad card to give you a good one. So fun.

Played some games tonight after dinner. Kariba and Ra and Write from the great Dr. Knizia. Via Magica (not pictured), Maglev Metro, and Tokaido refresher.
RA and Write is turning into one of my favorite blank and write games of all time. So good.

This past weekend a friend gave us a copy of Alea Iacta Est (because it has a toilet).
I already have Order of the Guilded Compass so my question, to those of you that have played both, which one of these do you like better?
Also, if you could only keep one which one would you keep?

Played two games of Dream Phone tonight. Katie won the first game and Rory won the second game. These old kids games are a ton of fun and need to get the Restoration Games treatment.

Learned Catherine: The Cities of the Tsarina tonight. This has some clever card play ideas and packs a lot of punch in just twelve turns. This is a good one. Stay tuned to a video soon.
