Mike and I had the pleasure of some company on Friday and Saturday! It all started with Ed showing up for a special occasion. His sudden appearance was due to a taping and interview with us about gaming. Yep, we were to be caught on camera playing our games and yakking about them! It doesn't get much better than that I say! The person in charge of all this was Amy. Amy works at the same TV station as Mike. She was looking to do a story on "geeks" like us! I was a bit nervous at first, but soon settled down to business. I enjoyed talking about our games and other stuff pertaining to this hobby. Actually, poor Ed and Mike didn't really get as much time on camera as I did. Sorry guys. I'm just more interesting! Hahaha! It was over in no time and she was off. Soon after she packed up and left we began playing "Thebes". This is one of my games that we all enjoy a great deal. It has to do with archeology. I won't go into details about it 'cause it can be read about on BGG. I have turned my mom and aunt on to the game as well. They get a kick out of it. Anyhow, Ed got his first taste of "Last Night on Earth, The Zombie Game" after we completed "Thebes". We played the scenario, "Escape in the Truck". Mike took the role of the zombie player, while Ed and I shared the role of heroes. Ed figured out the game quickly and we were off and running. We narrowly avoided a loss to Mike though. As you can see in one of the pictures, Mike had his zombies ALL over our truck near the end! But, Ed used one of his heroes to "take one for the team" ( R.I.P. Billy ) and drew them away long enough for two others to escape. All of this happened on Friday night. Ed stayed the night at Mike's after LNOE and we picked up playing more games Saturday afternoon. We began the day with "History of the World" and some new blood. Ed and I were introduced to Luke. Luke also works at the same TV station as Mike. Luke played every game we put out and did very well! He had never even heard of or seen any of these, but held his own and kicked ass as well. Beginners' luck! Haha! Next time Luke...no quarter pal!! We played "History of the World", "Yspahan" and "Formula De". We only played 3 games?! Huh! Now that I think about it I don't remember anything else. We did use up a lot of time shooting the breeze I guess! I know that Mike and I look forward to having Luke around for future game sessions! I think we may have overloaded him with details on a few other games we would like to introduce to him! Sorry Luke! We were just pleased to have a third person available down here in the Tri-Cities. Don't worry Ed. We won't forget you. In fact, we plan to try and get up to your place at least once m

Yeah that game of Last Night on Earth was the closest game we have had yet! Do you think it is better with 3 players? I'm not sure because it was the same game to me since I was the Zombie player. Kinda like Fury of Dracula and being Dracula, it don't matter how many hero players there are it's always the same number of heroes you have to face.
I enjoyed it with 3 players. It was nice to be a "team" with Ed. It allowed me to concentrate a bit more on my heroes. Less of a chance of something slipping past me and screwing up. I'm looking forward to introducing Luke to it...and a few other games as well! He seems eager and sharp enough to keep up with us! That is cool! BTW, I hope your anniversary goes well! Don't forget to put in some "groove" music! Hehehe!
Hey I got a couple of games last night as an anniversary gift, my girl is the best. I got the Anima card game, do you remember that one? It is an RPG type card game, I told you I really wanted to try it out since it seemed kinda similar to the game design I was working on. It was published by FFG. I also got another FFG game, or should I say expansion for a game, you will love it....it's the King in Yellow expansion for Arkham Horror, ha ha ha, I know you can't wait to play it ha ha ha.
I remember the Anima game. That's cool! Also, I'll play AH with the new expansion. I told you I would after all. What was I thinking! Haha!
count me on on the King in Yellow, I have always wondered what was beyond that train station....
Actually Ed you are thinking of the Dunwich Horror expansion that takes you beyond the Train Station, I will get that someday.
