Friday started off more relaxed, so Carrie and I were able to get a leisurely breakfast and stroll through the dealers room before gaming commenced.
- 11am, Dominion (DOM), Heat 2 of 3, 3rd of 4?
- 2pm, RoboRally (RRY), Heat 2 of 2, 4th of 5. Yeah, I lost, but I never died, and I had a lot of fun. The game was set up with 2 boards and 3 flags, so that the start and flag 2 were at one side of board 1, and flags 1 and 3 were at the other side of board 2. At one point, I was so far behind that I was just leaving flag 1 while the leader was approaching flag 3. I deduced that he was going to take advantage of a certain conveyor belt. I changed my program so that I met him as he left the conveyor belt, then proceeded to push him back up the conveyor belt, shooting him the whole way ... with ramming gear. I did 8 points of damage to him, and someone else shot him in the back for one more point. He ended the turn with all 5 registers locked ... and I finished him off the next phase with the ramming gear.
- 4pm, Puerto Rico (PRO), Heat 2 of 3, 3rd of 4. This was a close game; I made a mistake and Mayor'd when I should have shipped (I miscalculated the value of my shipping). I ran a factory where I was producing 3 sugar, 4 corn, and 1 indigo, feeding either the corn or the sugar to my wharf. A lot of fun.
Carrie and I met up with Paula and Dave Matuszek for dinner at Perkins, then we taught them how to play Dominion.
- 9pm, Race for the Galaxy (RFG), Heat 1 of4, 2nd of 4.
- 10pm, Race for the Galaxy (RFG), Heat 2 of 4, 4th of 4.
Afterwards, I met up with Eric, Cathy, and Jordan, and they taught me Maori, which should be a fun game for Ludus.
