Got to play Cthulhu Wars with 3 friends, one was brand new and two had played two years ago so pretty fresh all around. I had a lead as Daemon Sultan, but made a greedy ritual play and got punished hard. New player playing black goat had the win in the bag with a ritual and 6 gates, but decided not to ritual and play with her food. She ended the next (final) round with zero gates and Cthulhu took the win instead lol
I played a game of Final Girl and lost miserably. I love the game concept and the art, but I just can’t get into it (I’ve tried). The mechanics are too random and boring. I really want to like this game, but it’s not happening, so I’m not going to back the Kickstarter.
I’ve also started playing Tainted Grail: Last Knight. I really liked the story in Fall off Avalon, so hopefully Last Knight is as good.
Besides physical games, I played a few async games online.
TI4 - Finished a game I’ve been playing for about a month. I didn’t win, but I was close.
Dune - Playing as Emperor. Still pretty early in the game.
Gandhi - Playing as the Revolutionaries. Doing pretty well and it’s close to the end of the game. This is probably my favorite COIN game.

We broke out some older games that work for 5 players. A full game of Citadels and several hands of The Great Dalmuti. All card games, all with very simple rules so hardly any time was spent teaching them.
Nothing, the guy that brings the house we play at went to a football game. Better luck next week.
