The Canucks Amuck September meetup was on Saturday, and I got a lot of gaming in during my many hours at Hart House that day. I got there a couple of hours early to meet any of the other early-risers, but only Justin showed up early. But that worked out great. The two of us got in two full games and part of the setup for another game before anybody else arrived. All told, I played Battle Line, Battlecards, two games of Honour of the Samurai, the first scenario for Sergeants! on the Eastern Front and "cutthroat" Carcassonne.
After the meetup was over, the lot of us headed over to the Hairy Tarantula to take advantage of the quarterly sale. I left with some new games, including the much-ballyhooed Through The Desert, which Jacquie and I played last night. I'm not sure I quite understand why TTD is so highly-rated, but maybe it's just that it was just a two-player game. Perhaps with three or even four people, it would be a much better game. But even still, how can you go wrong with plastic camels in pastel colours?
