We met at Rich’s house for Analog Game Night – December 2005. Six of us showed up since Keith was off helping his daughter heal up after surgery on her scalp. We missed you Keith and hope Elizabeth has a quick recovery.
We started around 8pm and decided to play Power Grid. This is only the second play for our group and Tim had never played before. The game is listed at 2hrs but our group tends to play rather slowly. We had to spend a fair amount of time refreshing ourselves on the rules and by 10:30 Mat and Paul were needing to leave. We reluctantly shutdown the action one full round into Step 2.
I always hate to shutdown the game abruptly like that since it really messes up your strategy if you were expecting more rounds to play out. I really don’t want to play another truncated game of Power Grid so I’d recommend that we only start it if we’re all committed to finishing it.
Given that people had to leave, we ended up only playing the one game for an abbreviated game night.
