Jordan's tribe built a wall. Then a bigger wall.
First Rise of Tribes session and I'm pretty sure Jordan's been studying. 4 players, 90 minutes, two of us never got out of the early-game shame zone.

We started Letter Tycoon at 8pm thinking it'd be the warmup. Three hours later Sam was crying because they had to pay rent on every Q-word the rest of us spelled. We're banning Casey from hosting.

Priya's birthday game night devolved into open warfare during round 3 of We're Doomed. We have video. We will not be sharing the video.
Game of 49 with the in-laws. My mother-in-law is unhinged at this game. She bid $14 for the center square. She won the round. She is now my hero.
I now know that Sam will scream the magic spells louder than anyone has any right to scream them. The cat hid under the couch.
Did not expect my 11-year-old to spell QUARTZ on turn 2. Did not expect her to file a patent on Q. Have I been outplayed by a sixth grader? Yes.
I'm joking. It was carnage. Mark from Accounting voted us off the bunker in round 1 and walked out. He's in HR's notes now.
My partner and I learned three things tonight: (1) we don't agree on resource management, (2) we don't agree on diplomacy, (3) we love each other anyway. Probably.
JINXED, score 38, double patent, locked Z and X. My mother stood up, said "I taught you to read," and went to make tea. I'm framing this scorecard.
7 grown women screaming "UNICORN POWER" in a rental house at 1am. Neighbors filed a noise complaint. Police came. Officer asked to join the next round. We let him.
Dwellings of Eldervale, 5 players, Sunday afternoon. I summoned the dragon. I lost the dragon. I got it back. I lost it again. I'm tired. I'm happy.
Hypothetical Fun, round 4: would you rather find out your best friend lied OR find out your boss did. We voted. Three of us went silent. New ritual: nobody talks about round 4.
My partner and I have been playing Trellis every Saturday morning for six weeks. Current score: me 4, them 2. They are not happy about this. Coffee is great. Game is great.
Babysitting weekend. Bears vs Babies. She assembled a 14-card mega-bear with three arms and a tutu and said "you are now my prisoner." I conceded. She made me dinner.
