We started our games day with a quick game of Clans. This is a very fast, short game that can be played in 20 minutes or less. Itīs quite abstract but itīs actually quite good as well. Everyone secretly chose their colours and we started playing. Everyone was able to build lots of villages and the game ended in an instant.

Hereīs the game at its end. |

Next it was time for another game of Santa Fe Rails. The game started slowly with the red and yellow line expanding quickly all the way to the west.

Hereīs the early start of the game, with the red and yellow lines making their way through the west. |
Once again, my strategy was to build a lot of city cards, while Rui and Artur went for money. This time my strategy failed me, as I only got city cards of low value.
 |
The red line splits itself into two while the white line doesnīt get expanded much.. |
The short lines started to appear in the game and slowly they got expanded. This gave everyone lots of extra points. In the end, I got the last place. Rui took the first place by a large advantage.

Next we played a bit ogf Bohnanza, a great cardgame that we hadnīt played for a while. Everyone purchased their 3rd bean field as soon as they had 3 gold, but I followed my usual tactic of getting rid of all cards that donīt interest me by giving them to other players.

Some of the cards of Bohnanza. |
Everyone made their deals, and Artur was quite generous this time, much to our amazement. The game moved fast and we went through the deck three times.
Results:
I still havenīt a win at Bohnanza. My time will come.

Here is Rui and Artur after drinking lots of grog to celebrate their victories. They sure look quite grogged. |
