Muppets and Board Games

[neotoma]

I went with holli and greenygal to see Muppets Most Wanted on Sunday. It was highly entertaining, farcical, meta, and absurdist in the extreme. You should go see it.

Tonight, greenygal and I met up to go to Labyrinth's Thursday Board Game night. We watched two people play Morels, and I wound up taking over for one player half-way through when he hared off for a more interesting game. Then we played a round of Pandemic, which was a lot of fun even though we all died at the end. I would definitely go back, though I think I have to pack a Barre Bar or the like in bag, because we got sandwiches at La Pan Quotidien beforehand, and the shop was packed when we arrived 15 minutes after the start of game night.

I did buy Early American Chrononauts -- Chrononauts itself was a lot of fun -- so maybe ellen_fremedom and I can combine our decks and get a game of UberChrononauts going the next time we get a group of mutual friends together.

Oooh, what a cool store! I've never heard of it before!

I found it quite by accident -- I got to Eastern Market 45 minutes for a dinner with a friend in January, and decided to windowshop in a direction I don't usually go and there it was. It's kind of awesome, though it's a typical downtown shop -- about 8 feet wide and 40 feet deep. They have an enormously varied stock.

For game night, you can bring your copy of a game, or use a game from the store's cabinet of open games.

Oh man. I want to play UberChrononauts, but I think it would need a big group.

I think if we arranged to go to Labyrinth's game night together and were there at 6pm, we could get a group to play UberChrononauts pretty easily. There were a *lot* of people there.
