Drive-by after game night on South Hill, Puyallup.
Expedition
Pretty much went as planned. The mountain was out, looming on the horizon as I drove down 167. Snapped a photo for upload along the way.
Games we played include:
- Castle Risk - I've owned it for a decade but never played it. It is quick, but still has some bad qualities of Risk. Going to put this one in the Garage Sale pile
- Red November - A friend (and birthday boy) brought this, but hadn't played it. I've played once, so I taught and a group of 5 played... and didn't win. This is a semi-cooperative game, and the game won this time (as it does most times).
- Niagara - Capping the night with a quick game, I taught and 5 of us played. It was so popular 4 of us played again. This is a competitive game about collecting gems and not falling over the waterfall.
Now after midnight, I hustled off to what is now today's hashpoint. While driving I thought to myself "If something catastrophic had happened to the house, I could reach the hashpoint, otherwise this was a no trespass (and no ambassador at 1 am)." Reaching the house, I found that nothing had happened, and no ambassador it was. Headed home, arriving around 2 am.
