Games are Fun

So I threw a LAN party here at VMT last Friday. It wound down pretty quick, and soon enough there were only 4 of us left, not nearly enough for a satisfying game of UT2k4. So we decided to play Risk for a while.

At that moment, I discovered how much I really miss playing strategy games with other smart people. I hadn’t had a regular gaming group together since middle school, but I think it’s time to start one up again. Mike is also interested, so with two of us devoted to this, we should be able to put something together and keep it going.

Our first official game date will be Friday, 1/13 at around 7pm, at my house. We’ll play Risk (possibly the mission risk variant), and I think I also have Nuclear War laying around. Should be a pretty casual event. I believe we’ve already got 6 players, but if anybody else is interested we could probably break it up into teams, or even play a more complex game like Avalon Hill Civilization.
