As has become standard, we started out with Pirate's Dice while we waited for people to show up. Porter, Tanner, Hunter and Jarrod had not played it before. Porter and Tanner were knocked out quick. Tanner's elimination was due to his kindness of letting my son be on his team and my son is very quick to call people's bluffs. Then the two titans went head-to-head. Both Jarrod and Hunter had not lost hardly any dice. It came down to Hunter with two dice and Jarrod with one and Hunter prevailed.
Pirate's Dice Standings: Hunter 3, Jarrod 1, Tanner -1, Porter -3

Mark then selected Formula De for the game of the night. I love Formula De with a lot of people/cars. The track is SO crowded and the game becomes more tense. We played a two-lap race, in Monaco; and for the better part of the first lap, Mark and I had the lead with Tanner in a solid last. As the second lap played out, Tanner moved up to the middle of the pack, Porter exploded, and Mark dropped to last. Mark fought to catch up as Hunter and I edged toward the finish line. I managed to cross the line a bit before Hunter. Tanner claimed third place as Mark and Jarrod collided into each other, causing Jarrod's car to explode. Mark took fourth. The first game of Formula De that I played was kind of boring compared to this one. The leader was a foregone conclusion, but this game was far more compelling.

With a decisive lead, it is Hunter's pick next week! So what's it going to be Hunter?
