Cool Thievery

As has been a family tradition with us ever since before Molly was born, we went to Qdoba Mexican Grill tonight in order to steal their free air conditioning and occupy a table with our game playing for as many hours as possible while taking advantage of their free drink refill policy. In essence, we are paying $20 to rent a cold gaming table that comes with a free meal and unlimited drinks :)

Tonight we played "Chez Geek" for the first time, and I think I love it even though I lost to khristle. It feels and plays *exactly* like the type of game I like to make, and lets me know that there IS a market out there for games that can't really be "mastered" :)

We also played a new favorite of ours, a pirate-themed trick-taking game called "Walk The Plank". This game is always fun, but can be made SUPER-FUN if everybody speaks in Pirate-speak! We need a special pirate hat for next time, to designate who's the captain...

And of course we also played our all-time favorite family game, "Aquarius". Those folks at Looney Labs make some excellent games :)

Yeah, we could do that, sure... OR we could just find a pirate hat at Goodwill Outlet! Three years of wearing hats from there and STILL lice-free!
