Year's End

Jan. 1st, 2008 | 10:18 pm
location: futon

I had a very nice time the last week and a half

On the 22nd I arrived in Chicago to spend the holiday with [info]chaoticgoodchic. We had a wonderful vacation filled with movies, and games and time together.

  • We rented Stardust and went out to see P.S. I Love You. (both very good)

  • We played Family Fluxx, Cosmic Wimpout, & Apples to Apples with her young cousins on Christmas Eve.

  • We played Gloom(which I got her for Christmas), RA, & Settlers Cities & Knights at Games Plus.

  • We played Settlers Cities & Knights, Porto Rico, & Gloom with her brother.

  • And we played Zombie Fluxx, Settlers Card Game & San Juan just between the two of us.



I got back to Boston late Sunday night, and stayed at my brother's house. Went to work Monday, and then went to [info]ultimatepsi's for New Year's Eve.

While there I learned a new game Race for the Galaxy, which is best described as "San Juan in Space".

I also got people to play my customized Zombie Fluxx set. I've added some of the Christian Fluxx cards, and created a custom card: Exorcism


Exorcism

For each Religious Symbol Keeper (Candles, Cross, Holy Bible or Torah) you have on the table, you may remove 1 of your Creeper cards from the game during your turn.


Unfortunately I did not get to see it come up in play.

I called CGC on my new cell phone (a gift from my parents, they were tired of me not having one) at Midnight (EST). If anyone thinks they might Need my cell phone number either comment here or send me an e-mail.
