My computer is convinced there's no photo #3350. This is a tragedy, since I'm pretty sure that was the good picture of the Unspeakable Words Cthulhus from
samthereaderman's game night. Ticket to Ride, Unspeakable Words, and Trivial Persuit: Reader's Edition made appearances, as did cake. Happy birthday, Sam!
I have weird attention span issues with board games: once I've learned the rules, I want the game to move fast enough I don't have time to second-guess. This means I'm terrifically tempted to treat Ticket to Ride like speed chess, but so far no one else is with me on this plan. Trivial Persuit: Reader's Edition got the biggest laugh of the night for "right answer, wrong turn" mishaps, but even our group of dedicated SF junkies were pretty hit-or-miss on some categories. Unspeakable Words is another game that I want to treat as a speed game. Until such time, Cthulhu rearrangements will amuse me between bouts of vowel-free word crises.

( Plus vanquished Great Old One )
