After Action Report – Board Game Night @ Comic Quest, September 4, 2014

I attended the Board Game Night at Comic Quest on Thursday.  Attendance was light this time.  I believe that it had a lot to do with it being the first day back to school for most of the kids in the area as well as it being the first night for NFL football on Thursdays.  There were 17 people at the event with four games being played at any one time.

I played three games at the event.

The first game was Lost Cities:  The Board Game.  In Lost Cities:  The Board Game the players are trying to complete archeological expeditions.  The farther along on an expedition track a player gets, the more points they score.  The player must be careful when starting an expedition because if they do not move at least four spaces on that track they will lose points.

Scorecard Review – August 2014

In August I was able to go to all of the events that I regularly attend.  However it seems like I am still struggling to get the total number of games played per event that I was able to earlier in the year.

August

In August I was able to play 23 games at 8 events for an average of 2.88 games per event.  I missed my goal of three games per event again this month.
