We started off with Hey! That's My Fish!. Brandt, Mark and I started off pretty close to each other and the name of this game was segmenting off huge chunks of the board.
Hey! That's My Fish Standings:
Joey 10 (42 fish)
Mark 7.6 (32 fish)
Brandt 5.9 (25 fish)

Next we played a game of Gang of Four. I really like playing this with three players. Playing it with three give shlubs like me a fighting chance. At one point I was down by forty or so points and somehow (because I usually stink at Gang of Four) I made a miraculous comeback! Needless to say, Brandt does not enjoy Gang of Four with three players.
Gang of Four Standings:
Joey 10 (49 points)
Mark 7.3 (99 points)
Brandt 5.0 (128 points)

Zeb arrived and we played an extremely unique game of Manila. Only two wares even counted for anything and not many boats came in. Zeb had to hawk a ware and he still came in second. It was a slow economy day in Manila.
Manila Standings:
Mark 10 (124 pesos)
Zeb 8.7 (109 pesos)
Joey 6.3 (79 pesos)
Brandt 6.0 (75 pesos)

Next we played a game of Chez Geek. This game got nasty. People were jacking each other rooms like crazy. Things getting burgled. Chainsaws during sleep. TV killing nookie. Regardless, Brandt reigned supreme as the master slacker (ironically).
Chez Geek Standings:
Brandt 10 (19 out of 18 slack)
Mark 7.0 (14 out of 20 slack)
Zeb 6.4 (11 out of 17 slack)
Joey 3.5 (6 out of 17 slack)

Lastly we played a game of Pirate's Cove. This game had battles a plenty and was a tremendously close game. We even had a four-way battle. I was first to hobble away from that one and Mark was the last pirate standing when the gun smoke cleared. But that was only one battle, the pirate war was won by master cutthroat Brandt.
Pirate's Cove Standings:
Brandt 10 (34 acts of notoriety)
Joey 9.4 (32 acts of plunder)
Zeb 8.8 (30 acts of sacking)
Mark 8.2 (28 acts of pillaging)

Well... The pirate was heavily damaged by yours truely and I also took the first hits from the Pirate... so I was basically the cannon fodder for that last round.

My mind must be going... did you survive that last battle with the Flying Dutchman?

Ya I was the 1st person in there to battle and was attacked 1st... I survived the battle to earn a measly 2 points of Fame... Still lost the game though.

That was a close game.
