We love houseguests! Especially when said guest's idea of a good time is playing non-stop games all day and night. :} Rob's hometown friend and grad school roommate Steve joined us for a 36 hour stop on his Summer Tour of the Southeast. Friday night, after dinner at
The Loveless Cafe, we warmed up with a few rounds of
Flux and then Steve and Rob indulged in a game of
Knightmare Chess.
Saturday, after breakfast of Bess' crepes with a side of philosophy and literature, we played
Settlers of Catan non-stop.
Rob dominated the game until Steve and Bess decided to rearrange the tiles to make as equitable a board as possible, so our skill at world domination could outshine mere chance of rolling #3 fifty times in a row. As you can see from these three photos of us gloating over our wins, "the longest road" was certainly a much sought-after bonus card!
The end score was Rob: 3 Steve: 2 Bess: 2.
Below are two configurations of our attempts to create a "fair and equitable" Ile de Catan on which to settle.
