Sam's Race-rific gaming sessions

It's official. I'm the official pimp for RACE FOR THE GALAXY. I intro her to guy, and they get addicted and want to play with her more and more. After playing with her the first time, guys can just keep on going, and going. She can't be over-played! There's no such thing.

I bought RACE around 12th or 13th (kinda after i first learnt it on 11th), brought it to staff night on 12th. Staff night was SUCKY cuz no one was there to open the door, and since i brought along a game, we played it @ central mall.
ROUND 1! Players: Weihao Huijie TerrenceLee Karmen @ Central Mall
Yeah, i wasn't there to play. let the new ones play and enjoy the game lor. Leavin me to talk with Evonne and Jerry who, were around.

Brought her over to cafe on Friday 17th for lamination with Weihao. Bumped into Joseph who was just about to leave. Cafe was full when i was there and it wasn't a good time to laminate, so, we decided to play somewhere nearby...
ROUND 2! Players: Samuel Joseph Weihao @ Central Mall
Joseph's first time.

After that, went to cafe, attempted to laminate, but the laminates did not stick to the cards due to moist cards aka SWEAT-FILLED.
eeeww.
Anyway, for some reason, we decided to go over to Joseph's place to stayover and game.
ROUND 3! Players : Samuel Joseph Weihao Garfield/Jonathan/B1/MeowMeow @ Joseph's House.
Don't ask how we got there. We were just, somehow there. We played Agricola first. MY first agricola game.
Is it over-rated? Dun tell u =)
Then 2 more rounds of Race for the Galaxy till 6am. Gosh. And Joseph and I had settlers shift 11am onwards. wow.

Hwee Ming (Cafe staff) was around at cafe, with no customers to serve, so i taught her the game and started...
ROUND 4! Joseph HweeMing Samuel @ Cafe
I lost to both. urgh =)

Jerry and Evonne were at cafe at night and borrowed my set to play, Javen saw the game, Jerry sparked his interests, and after shift around 3am, we started...
ROUND 5! Joseph Javen Samuel @ Cafe
It was a cool game! Javen thought so! We told him so! played 2 games. I remember the 2nd game well. cuz Javen had 32 pts, I had 49pts, Joseph had 62 WHOOPING POINTS. like, i like the "produce and get 2xVP" strategy, but Joseph set it up better. We ended the game with 12th building AND using up all victory pts.

Race has invaded my life, and it looks like she'll never leave... I have to intro her to more ppl.
Yes, Race is a she. If not, why would guys like her so much?

hmm sounds great. i wanna try

Ya, its quite an entertaining game. I see get better with more plays definitely.

On the other hand, i met Alvin 1 week ago to pass him 'loot', took the chance to teach him Rftg at Toa Payoh Mac too!

Welcome to the club, Sam! I still haven't gotten sick of it yet. But there're always those times where you're just going through the motion playing Race for the Galaxy when you don't get the cards you want.

ya...
den...
u have to keep exploring for e next ten turns or so...

Had a few games with Damien and Donkey (bosses of PI) last weekend, using the bonus tiles from the 1st expansion! I can only say the game is more entertaining, and i look forward to the 2nd expansion and more.

Interaction is key, and while i complain that the base set is very solitairy, adding these expansion ingredients makes the game very good. For those who have not tried the game with the expansion stuff, do so. Its good.

Did i mentioned that its good?

guess now its e domimion era...woot...
