After a little bit of radio silence with life stuff and drama I’m back folks.

A friend of mine foolishly sent me a photo of the scene that greeted him when he arrived home today.

From this brief exchange you can see I was supportive and empathised with the situation.

Naturally HHH and his entrance music came to mind.

This afternoon Diego and I had a gaming session round his. His Atlanteans beat my Romans in Imperial Settlers.

Whilst I managed to trade my way to victory in The Voyages of Marco Polo. A game that hadn’t hit the table in over a year. And had only just made my collection this past weekend. I managed to get a second hand copy with the mini expansion and a wooden insert for a real good price.

Both games the end scores were pretty close. Especially considering during the games it looked like there was a run away winner each time. In Imperial Settlers Diego had the lead, and a late end game scoring saw me within 2 points of him. Then during Marco Polo I was in front for the majority of the game. Briefly lost the lead in the end game scoring and then snatched victory by 2 points.

It was a great afternoon gaming. Nice to meet Diego’s daughter (months old). There was even cheesecake between games.
