Tonight we played Cities and Knights of Catan.

• Sallie won, followed by Craig, John, and Dave.  We used the Catan Event Cards instead of rolling dice, and were pleased -- the cards even out the strings of bad dice rolls that have plagued previous games.  We ignored the events themselves -- the simulated dice rolls are all the randomness we need.

Attendees: Craig Trader and Carrie Hafer, Sallie and Dave Montuori, and John McMahon.
