Zeb and Brent arrived first and we started a game of Manila. Mark M. showed up right after our first turn. I thought I was doing much better that I actually did. For a first-timer, Brent manipulated the market, was a successful pirate and made it to the top.

Brent brought Acquire with him. I love this game, but I stink at it. Big time! This was a very unusual game of Acquire. Very few corporations were built in the beginning and it seemed to be a fairly quiet game for a long time. Then the mergers and acquisitions flew. I really cashed in at the end, but having not done so throughout the game cost me.

And then it was Nexus Ops time! It's been far too long since we've played this. We all turtled in the beginning and when everyone's massive army was ready, the sparks flew! Mark M. and Zeb put some points up early on. I managed to put six of my twelve points on the board in short order, but then stood still as Mark M. rushed forward and got his twelve.
