Usonian Games Meeting
Tonight was another gathing of the Usonian Game crew. Brett, Clyde, Jerry and I met at Brett's place for some freewheeling game design, and the discussions ranged far and wide. We first tried to see what we could devise for the latest BGDF design competition, where the requirements were a UFO theme, tile laying, and a group vote somehow. Crop circles, black ops, probe battleship, and other ideas were floated, with nothing really sticking but we had a great time just being creative. Brett and Clyde went off for pizza, Jerry and I almost played a game of Gene Pool before they got back, and then everyone joined in for a round of Ultra-Violets. As usual, a cleaner game than before, but still has hiccups. We'll see if the doctors at Protospiel can give it a good diagnosis to see if there's anything promising. Brett and I are heading out Wednesday, should be a fun weekend, wish Laura could come along but she's teaching all week.
