Seconds

[gonzai]

As in, second in Ticket to Ride (lost by 4 points), second in Stone Age (lost by 2 points), second in Settlers of Cataan, two seconds in Can't Stop and a second in a new game, Isla Dorada. I seem to have had a wee bit of a pattern today. Losing TTR stung, but the others were plusses. Also learned 3 4 new games (bought one; entered a drawing for one; would like to never see the 3rd and 4th ones again) and picked up a couple more games along the way. It's hard trying to get wild card games going though, everyone's in a tournament and you have to try to catch everyone at exactly the right time (yes, I'm also an offender.) Generally, though, having a good time :)

I really wish there was an active gaming group closer than 2-3 hours away....

There's an Eastern PA Gaming group at this con, perhaps there's something around Philly? And GCOM has events in Delaware.

Delaware is still 75-90 mins at least depending on where. Have to check the EPA grp tho.

See if you can get any info on the Eastern PA group?

The DE groups are in Dover (every Sunday) and Newark (every other Saturday). You can find them at www.gamesclubofmd.org

The Eastern PA group only lists their business meeting on the website. www.epgs.org Maybe a call or e-mail can get you better info than the site.

Hmm. Oxford Valley mall is doable.. Just need to check if that's current...

No luck on PA, attendance was way down today and I didn't run into anyone from that group. I did have a nice conversation with a gentleman who runs some games in DE, including some all-train conventions. He's part of GCOM. I'll keep an ear out for anything else.
