Happy 2008!
Tuesday, 1st January 2008 by Julie
We had a pretty relaxing New Year’s Eve last night playing games with some friends who also have a small baby. The game in question was Settlers of Catan Cities and Knights and it was fairly new for most of us.
As a result, while we’d more or less planned to miss the whole New Year’s “event”, we were actually still finishing off the game when 2008 rolled around!
It was definitely a learning game, but a fairly close finish and as a triumphant start to the new year, I snatched victory from right under Tom’s nose.

It is ironic that Julie won by making the same play I would have already made if the rules had allowed it. I was disallowed from making the play because I was ahead of Julie at the time!
