Had a very pleasant day, with a passel of folks coming over to chit-chat, eat, and play games. Jackie, Stan, Randy, Bruce and his friend Mark, Lee & De, Doyce & Kate all showed up — and Katherine, Rachel, and Kaylee got to do the Annual Living Room Easter Egg Hunt.
Rather than a sit-down dinner, Margie served up (along with goodies folks brought) a buffet in the kitchen, so people gorged themselves all day, alolng with beer, wine and soda.
We played a mass game of Turbo Cranium (which was a very, very close game for all the teams), then split into smaller groups. Randy, Stan and I played Lee at the copy of Cosmic Encounters he brought over — it’s been ages since I played that game.
Things eventually wound down, and folks left in time for us to get dishes all scrubbed and put away before we headed up to bed.
Kitten’s on spring break this week — doing a program down at the Rec Center. Margie and I are in full work-week mode, wrapping up (believe it or not) the month of March.
Wow, Cosmic Encounters! now those were the days…I remember picking up my first copy of this game at one of the original GenCon’s in Wisconsin..
Happy Easter!!!
Yeah, I have fond memories (and frustrating ones) of CE back in college and post-. Good times. And it’s just as crazy as it used to be. (Stan called it “Fluxx with Resource Management”).
