lights gamez nite
the night was a great time of fellowship, food, bonding and board games. thanx jan for opening your house and to alex for slaving over the bbq for us all. it was definitely better then staring at the tv screen and watching will smith in hitch create opportunities for men to catch their fish. although i’m sure some of us secretly took notes...you know who u are...lol! if there are two things i learnt that night, it is:
the first is, just cause syd has an innocent, kind and gentle demeanor, he can be ruthless in board games so don’t let syd play monopoly. he was at a disadvantage by going last and yet still manage to acquire the majority of the property then build houses/hotels and own more than half of the board. it was all over for me when i landed on his boardwalk with a hotel in which i had to pay him over 2000 in rent...ouch! good game syd!
the second is, just cause she is sweet and super adorable doesn’t mean she can’t play the game of risk. just when you think becca is done for, she makes a major comeback with lucky dice roles and some sort of unexplainable aura about her. she conquered with an iron first plowing over her adversaries with little resistance and chanting "i will rule the world" followed by her evil laugh that resonated throughout the room. in the end, it all came down to the final battle in australia (isn’t it always about australia in risk...lol!) with syd having only one solider left against the entire army of becca. syd definitely put up a good fight but there was nothing that would derail becca tonight. like i’ve said so many times, itz just a girl thing and the power they have over us mortal men. good game becca!
definitely looking forward to the next games night and more fellowship with the lights team.
