December 7 Game Night

Good times at Erica and Dagon's house. There were twelve people in attendance, Brian, Shelly, Steve, Romeo, Dagon, Erica, Anthony, Cade, David (and three guests whose names I don't recall -- sorry!).  We had pizza, salad, cheese and crackers, beer, and orange soda(?). The games I saw played were Aquarreto, Charon Inc., Dixit, Dominion, Downfall of Pompeii, Pack & Stack, and something I didn't really see (Coloretto?).

Davis Board Gamers is One!

Today is the first anniversary of the Davis Board Gamers!

Our first event was held on Nov. 11, 2009, at Dagon and Erica's house. Since then, we've had 28 group events (not counting occasional pick up gaming at one or another of our houses, and the excellent monthly parties hosted by Jeff and Lora at their house).

We started small, with six people at the first event. I think our largest event had 15. (The smallest was three; Steve, Shelly, and me playing Endeavor & Circus Flohcati at Round Table). By my rough count, we've had 33 separate people participate in one or more of our events, and we seem to have a pretty stable core group -- enough to reliably turn out six to twelve at our biweekly game nights.

I'm really happy with how things are going. It's been great meeting and spending time gaming with all of you. At least so far (knock wood), we haven't had any problems worth mentioning. I'm looking forward to writing another message like this a year from now.

Game on!

November 23 Game Night

Nice turn out: Brian, Shelly, Dagon, Erica, Anthony, Jeff, Romeo, Brain, and David. We had some food and then got down to playing (Rattus, The Speicherstadt, Quoridor, Dixit and Dschunke). Bonus pop culture reference: there were many -- some might say too many -- "don't touch my Dschunke" jokes.
