Last night was the “get it to the table night”. A game night whose purpose is to allow us to get those unplayed games sitting in our piles of shame to the table.

So why did we end up playing two games that had been played (several times) before?

Numbers.

With the maths wrong I had mostly four player games with me. However there were five of us. It could have been worse there could have been six. But current life events means Marcin was unable to attend.

Luckily I had three games that played five players.

The first one we played was Strike!

Our games of Strike! were such a blast. We were also later we would find out from a regular at the social club louder than usual. Yes this game brings out the boisterous nature of those playing.

Our games were filled with incredible against the odds rolls, a variety of throwing/rolling styles, and lots of laughter.

Somehow an hour later and fourteen games or so we decided to play another game.

That follow up game was Sushi Go.

It’s been a long while since I’ve played with the maximum number of players for the game. The end of round scoring is much more meaner with seven cards. Getting more than 15 points in a round is virtually impossible. Hitting around 10 points or over is achievable but can be a struggle. Getting the multiple cards for say dumplings, sashimi, or tempura which give big points becomes much harder.

We decided to call it an evening after our third game.

We had a really fun evening. There was so much laughter. Yes no games from the pile of shame got played. But that didn’t seem important.
