Whilst the kitchen remains non-functional (for entertainment purposes), +Doyce Testerman and +Kate Testerman hosted Game Day at their lovely new house.
Games played (at various tables) included (there may have been others I didn't see played):
Tsuro of the Seas*
Sentinels of the Multiverse*
Ultimate Werewolf*
Love Letter*
Power Grid
Night of the Grand Octopus
* ones I played
Good times were apparently had by all, even with munchkins of various sizes capering about.
There's a decent chance that the next Game Day will be something we can actually play from the house, if the current kitchen schedule holds up. (Ha!) Looking forward to it, regardless.

I got One Night Ultimate Werewolf because it was almost universally lauded. I discovered that I do not like deduction/bluffing games and traded it away.
I played one game of Sentinels of the Multiverse. The owners had just gotten an expansion, so my first game was against the new villain. She kept becoming invulnerable. It was pretty hopeless and left me with very little desire to try the game again, although I know that one game was not truly representative.
My weekly game has been Shadows of Brimstone five weeks in a row. The RPG elements of the game have made it so compelling we are not rotating games as we usually do. (The theme, incidentally, is Unspeakable Horrors in the Old West.)
+Scott Randel I will have to give that a try.
