Gaming with Gamers

Last night, we were introduced to Game Night at Matt's. Matt invites many friends over about once a year for the celebration of Board Games. Matt has quite an extensive collection, with many Spiel Des Jahres winners included, so it made for a very fun evening.

We started off playing a game of Ultra Violets, a game I'm working on based on Laura's hobby of growing African Violets. It's very rough still, and needs some work, this is the first playtest with 4 people, but I like how things are going with it. We'll see where it ends up. Burr and Natalie seemed to enjoy it, and asked for a copy when it's finished, so that's a good sign.

Other games we enjoyed were Fluxx, a game where the rules change as you play cards, making for a very chaotic and funny time, and Lord of the Fries, where you're a zombie at a fast-food restaurant trying to fill orders. With 10 people it was a little slow, but looks interesting for less people. Matt provided some nice Chilean salsas, a ham salad, and some very fulfilling burritos, so both our brains and bodies were happily satisfied at the end of the night.
