Yep that was 12 Power Grid maps back to back over two days. Worth doing, but possibly not in such a concentrated burst.

Ooh yes, now a little to the left - my nose is itchy. No, no the other left! Now what colour is 12 supporter badge going to be I wonder?

That's a great look she's giving you meeple

Who would trust a man with the "I have a Library in my hand" face?

I'm sure you had it when the picture was taken!

Unfortunately, this picture makes it look like both of these players are really having a big load of whatever the opposite of fun is....

I wonder if they are both thinking "great! He is taking a picture of us to put on BGG where a bunch of geeks are going to drool at our pictures and make obnoxious comments about how cute we are."

What?! You saying you wouldn't want to spend a long December evening with your sister (I'm guessing...really, they are practically doppelgängers) and her husband, in a room with no windows, losing a game about a far away and warm land? And it's not even your turn.

They are indeed sisters, and they + the two husbands are our most frequent gaming group. I would say they are far from unhappy, but it was our first game and we were struggling a little with understanding cards, rules, strategies. Also it was the English edition of the game and that is not the first language here.

Sorry. I was being harsh.
A picture is worth a thousand words, though sometimes not the right ones. Your elaboration changes her expression entirely in my eyes.

Glad you've got some regular gaming going on.

Now about that mini-Texas on the wall...oh, forget it.

I am multi-platform. If I was to list all the O/S I have running, I think I would please baby Jesus, Buddha, FSM, and any other deity who can be influenced by systems.

Also they can appreciate the beauty of the women in the photo and complement it with the thumbs up.

Why do you think about smelly, fat dudes when you look at a photo of pretty women? shake

Also, a photograph can be good on it's own. I never thumb photos just because they have cute women or cleavages, but I find stupid not thumbing an otherwise fine photo just because it has them. Lets see who is the first to guess why I thumbed this one:

Flames of War photo thumb - because of the excellent terrain, the backdrop with Flames of War logo/info, the dice caught mid-cast, shows off the game well, and is just a good photo in terms of framing, lighting and all. (The attractive woman doesn't hurt

)

What helps a lot is that she actually looks to be enjoying herself. Doesn't always happen with booth staff. Sometimes they look like they're hating every moment of the experience.

Showing some enthusiasm is a plus.
