Bought Terra Mystica and the Fire and Ice expansion. Will be running it at a con later tonight. Will also be running only two sessions of Ə. Running two instead of three because for some reason the first submission of the sessions I want to run disappears when I submit them to this particular con. It has happened three years straight, now. Usually I catch it and resubmit, but I didn't notice it this time until too late.
Been playing a lot of the 18XX line of games. Went to the Chattanooga 18xx convention back in February and place 19th in the tournament (if you're attending the con, you're in the tournament). Not bad for a game I've been playing for less than a year.
Ok, the way the scoring works for the tournament inflated my ranking: You were scored on the best score for up to four different games. If someone spent the entire weekend playing only 1817, which many people did, you received only points for only one game. Part of the scoring involved how many different people you played with over the weekend. This was implemented after one year when a guy showed up with two friends who throw every game for him. But still, I made a good showing for myself.
