Gunfight at the Derby Line Village Hall

Border Board games was pleased to see the return of the Mikes and Dennis to the monthly board game night on December 17th.  With the addition of Homer, Kim and Alexis to the mix, we boasted eight players on the evening.

First to hit the table was a favorite of St. Jay Mike and Dennis: Power Grid.  Some savvy moves and the establishment of a reliable nuclear network enabled St. Jay Mike was able to overcome his rivals for control of the French power market.  It was a closely contested game until the very end.

It is highly likely that either of Agricola or Le Havre will hit the tables next month.  If we can again draw eight or more participants, that likelihood increases exponentially.

Next up were several rounds of the wild west themed Bang!  It was the first time for several of the players but, given the inherent nature of the game, was quickly embraced by all players.  In the first game Sheriff Homer came to a bad end as the outlaws efficiently eliminated his deputies and marched to victory.  In the second game Sheriff Dennis fared little better.  His deputies struggled to acquire the gear necessary to defend him while the renegades and outlaws launched savage attacks on he and his allies.  Though close to a renegade win, the outlaws again triumphed on the evening.

The next Border Board Games game night is scheduled for January 21st at 6 p.m.  The week prior a Border Board Games contingent will trek south to Winter Weirdness in Barre for a day filled with gaming mayhem.
