Well, I’ve started back on my boardgames and not as much wargaming.  I hope that isn’t a “bad” thing.  I sure don’t think it is.  I want to play other games too.  I know my stock will go down (was it ever up?), but I just bought, Blokus, Puerto Rico, Lord of the Rings the Confrontation, Carcassonne, Lord of the Rings Risk (yes, I enjoy that boardgame theme), and Ticket to Ride.

I’ve never played those games and have always wanted to.

 The other day three of us were able to play Axis and Allies and one member who loves accuracy always tries for D-Day.  Too bad though, it was a minor victory so I won, but we decide to keep playing for another hour.  This time I was the Axis and miscalculated an attack against Moscow. I lost and D-Day was realized.  I won, but then he did too (the third member quit when I won the minor victory.)  It was a lot of dice throwing, but this boardgame session was satisfying.

Played Risk the other day.  Third guy above who quit Axis and Allies (well, the game was over), stomped us.

Played Scrabble and began winning after memorizing many three letter and two letter words, especially Q without U and Z words.

I admit I purchased Yahtzee the other day and played a few games.  It’s actually fun!

I changed the site description to include boardgames.
