MyPC Games Day Recap

I hosted the MyPC Games Day last month and we had such a good time. Lots of beginners and experienced gamers made for quite an interesting mix. It started out around 11 AM and we played a few warm-up games.

Brian H. showed up and was immediately enticed into a game of Railroad Tycoon. He played a game with a Games Day veteran, Marty who was eager to share his RT knowledge! They were waiting for Scott to show up and then got down to business! Here is a picture of them playing...

Caylus Magna Carta

With Mary T., Lana B., Ken K. (standing in the background), Erin G., and Aaron.

We played allllllll day and had a blast. We finished off the evening with a few games of Werewolf! The werewolves were very good and killed off all the villagers at least one time! There was a chain reaction at one point when the village lynched Ron R. who was a hunter and a lover of Tim E., who was a werewolf. So, with one lynching, they got Ron and Tim, who died of a broken heart, but then Ron got one more shot off and killed another person (I can't remember who). So with one lynching, three people ended up dying!! It was quite amusing!

If you haven't tried the game events, you should give it a shot. The games are really different from regular American board games which are very much luck-based. The games we play at these events are "Euro" games and are more strategy-based. I'm planning on posting another one and as soon as I do, I will put a link to this post!
