 I just recently acquired a piecepack set, and this is a highly-recommended game for that set. It was the first game played at Smitefest.

I won with 14. Tom had 13. Wade and Stephanie were more than five points back. The "same-suit" bonus won me the game.

THis was a learning game for Eugene who had never played it before. I'm a veteran of the series (33 plays and counting) so won both games.

 After Sarcophagus, we jumped into Hive. I won one, lost one, and then won the third. And the third game was CLOSE.

I played two more games with Eugene. He won the second game with a clevel use of the red rings to cut off a bunch of my pices and force an endgame in his favor.Good job, E!

He said he liked this one more than Yinsh.

Yinsh is kinda hit-or-miss for me. Sometimes, it's great. Sometimes I'm just not that fond of it.

This was a five player game with Wade, Steph, Tom, EUegene, and I. I started off slowly and was never able to fully recover, though I did manage to eke out a 4th place finish so at least I wasn't dead last. The final ranking was:

1st: Tom
2nd: Eugene
3rd: Wade
4th: Me
5th: Steph

 You can't have a gathering of serious gamers without at least one game of Dominion being played.

 With some of the non-Hardcore gamers here, I think this making an appearance was pretty much inevitable.

 And a great way to wrap up. Although, with 40 minutes left, there may be another quick game in our future.
