The next game night was on the 27th, and it was at Mike and Melissa’s. Polly came along and was introduced to their dogs with mixed results. They aren’t best friends yet, but at least she’s learning to socialize. As for the games, we tried out GMT’s Pacific Typhoon first. This is basically an updated version of Avalon Hill’s Arctic Storm card game set in the Pacific during WWII. It’s a fun multi-play card game that revolves around winning high point value tricks. It has one or two new cards that were not present in Arctic Storm, but the play is nearly identical. Over all, a good, light multi-player wargame.
After Pacific Typhoon, we played a five player game of Settlers of Cataan. In the five player game you can build in between other people’s turns, but you can only trade-in cards during your turn. As soon as it was my turn I was going to win the game, but right before my turn, someone else made a play and won. C’est la vie.
