After Action Report – Thursday Night Gaming @ Paradise Perks, March 20, 2014

Thursday Night Gaming at Paradise Perks drew 25 people and 5 games were being played at any one time.

I was able to play three games at the event.

First up was Trans America.  Trans America is a game that is deceptively easy to learn but is very difficult to master.  In Trans America the players are required to connect up five different cities in different regions of the United States.  The players start building track from their starting post.  If they connect up to another player’s track, they can build off of that player’s track as well as their own.  In this way players wind up helping each other out while trying to achieve their own goals.

Scorecard Review – February 2014

February is over so it is time to take a look at how I did.

February

In February I was able to play 16 games at 7 events for an average of 2.29 games per event.  I continue to play longer games so I have not been able to achieve my goal of 3 a games per event.

After Action Report – Thursday Night Gaming @ Paradise Perks, February 20, 2014

I went to Thursday Night Gaming at Paradise Perks for a night of gaming.  There were 2- 35 people at the event with 5 games being played at any one time.

I played three different games at the event and was even able to play one of them twice.

The first game of the evening was Tsuro, which was the game that I played two times.  Tsuro is a light game in that if it takes more that 20 - 30 minutes to play you are doing something wrong.  Tsuro consists of a 8 tile by 8 tile playing area.  The players take turns placing tiles on the board and moving their pieces along the trail on those tiles.  Once the player’s piece goes off the edge of the board or runs into another player’s piece they are out of the game.  The last player with a piece on the board wins the game.

In the first game I was able to keep moving my piece around the board away from the other players.  One of the players was eliminated after about half of the tiles were placed leaving three of us to continue on.  I then made a mistake and placed a tile that ran me one of the other players and ended the game by eliminating both of us.
