Games 13/8/2009

St John's Wood Rover Crew took it easy on the 13th, playing a few board games while drinking a few beers. The 13th also saw Stephen's friend, Stephen (later referred to as B1 and B2, for reasons not quite clear to the writer) visit the crew, and I think we can all say he had a pretty great time.

We started out by playing ultimate frisbee, the first of hopefully many such games. It proved a great success; that is, the frisbee didn't end up in the creek.

The night also saw some of the Rover crew members engaging in epic battles of Magic: the gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh and, that old favourite, Pokemon. It was a very relaxing way to pass the night, especially since the speakers Emile had procured proved to be working, and working well.

The centrepiece of the night, though, was undoubtedly an epic game of Risk. The brave Rovers who undertook the 'world domination' version of the game played continuously through the night. There were gut-wrenching roles, alliances, betrayels and wins against all odds. As with most games of Risk, it was abandoned a few hours after it began. The Rovers realised that there was absolutely no chance of finishing up.
