Seattle Cosmic Game Night, Saturday, 31 July 2004

That's Nacho game!

In attendance were at least the set of David_Adams?, Meryl_Douglas?, Nat_Dupree?, Steve_Dupree?, Ryan_Eyers?, Elena_Lepovich?, Mark_Haggarty?, Marty_Hale-Evans?, Ron_Hale-Evans?, Timothy_Higgins?, Jay_Lorch?, Emily_Miller?, Mark_Purtill?, Alex_Rockwell?, Ben_Sklar?, Julie_Strasser?, Jon_Tanner? and his friend Jim, Michelle_Teague?, Chad_Urso-McDaniels? and his brother Shane_{McDaniels,_Urso,_or_Urso-McDaniels?}?.

They gathered on this evening of exccessively excited air molecules to clash wits yet again in the struggle for boardame supremacy. Said clash was fueled by a spread of Nachos Supreme, including no less than 5 pounds of hamburg and 4 pounds of refried beans.

A pretty standard play of St. Pete's. Nothing unusual happened that I recall, other than Tim beating me by three measly bucks. :)

Meryl got a nasty Steak & Salad empire going early on, which both bankrupted all the other players (winning by one win condition) and also earned her over a million dollars (winning by the other condition).

Time: 1:00 AM - 1:30 AM
Winner: Steve

In the first round, we ended up placing virtually identical bets on the horses. (the only deviations were that I bluffed with my 0 on Earl Grey and Alex bluffed on Albino). Cue Laughter. In the second round, Alex successfully screwed my 2-bet horse, giving him a 1000-350 lead. In the third round, Alex started out placing bets on the same horses I bet on, in an attempt to get the same score as me and win with his lead going in. Our bets were similar but he put his double bet on Nougat, who didn't place, and I put mine on Earl Grey, who came in 3rd and was also the pace horse. Since all bets/payouts are doubled in the last round, it was enough for me to win.
