Game Report: The Past Week
Shel's been over several times this week to challenge me at Homeworlds. We played 5 games over the course of 3 visits. I won every time, but she's getting quite good even so. Often she'll destroy half of my Homeworld before I destroy hers, and our games are usually quite epic.

For one of these games, I set up my video camera and filmed the entire two hour game, which I'm editing down into a time-lapse view of a Homeworlds game. It was an 83 turn battle.

During WTS night, Shel and I played half a game of Homeworlds while simultaneously also playing Martian Hold'em. I love this setup, since it's great to be able to study the Homeworlds board when you're out of the hand in the Hold'em game. These being my 2 obsessively-favorite games at this time, I get a kick out of doing both at the same time. (I'm a multi-tasking junkie.) The losing streak I've been on at Poker continued, with another loss of $1.55.

On Monday night, since it was my birthday, Kristin & Alison took me out for a steak dinner. While waiting for a table we got drinks at the bar and played 3 games of Treehouse. Our bartender Mark was so intrigued by the game that we taught him to play and he joined us for two of our games, winning once! (I won the others.) It was fun watching Mark get increasingly interested in the game (particularly when other customers started getting impatient). During dinner we played EcoFluxx, and Kristin won.
