Lemonade Stand, String Railway, Scotland Yard
At the game store, I played Lemonade Stand, which is boring and terrible. Okay, not that bad, but what can I say about this dumb game.
Then a game of String Railway, which I am not very fond of! Because the downtime is absolutely terrible, especially with five. Which is what we have. Ug the downtime. The game is played with strings, each player draws a station, places the station, and then puts down their string railway to make connections and get points. If you cross another string, you lose a point. Except we don't play that way. What we do is draw a station, then spend five minutes laying down and picking it up trying to manipulate it in such a way to get the most points, then maybe sliding that station you got under the string. And when EVERYONE does this...this game just takes too long. And of course I didn't win, because I play like you are supposed to play.
Then a game of Scotland Yard, which is a deduction game in which you are trying to find where one player is moving hidden around the board while everyone else is trying to catch that player. Occasionally the hidden player has to reveal their location. As the detective, I think we got lucky because the hidden player didn't use their hidden move when I thought she should have, making it easy to find her, and she eventually got trapped in a park. But I want to be the hidden player so much...I get to wear a hat!
