New Faces at Krystal Keep

Three new folks tonight, and a total of nine attending, and two new games for me.

The first was a game called "Treehouse". No, that is not a tube of toothpaste, but the actual game container, from Looney Labs.

Amanda*, Katie, Mike, Jeff, Jamie

Another new game for me was Zooloretto; winner of the 2007 Spiel des Jahres

Mike*, Amanda, Katie, Jeff, Jamie

There's always time for a quick game of Guillotine. Katie and Amanda won a rare tie.

Katie*, Amanda*, Mike, Jeff, Jamie

Everyone was dizzy after playing Metro, a swirling maze of tracks in the Paris subway system.

Mike*, Katie, Amanda, Jeff, Jamie

Finally, Amanda proved herself to be a chip-off-the-old-block by stealing the King from her Dad, Jeff, in To Court the King, making her the big three-time winner of the evening!

Amanda*, Jeff, Jamie, Katie, Mike

In addition, Charlie, Greg, Dave and Russ were playing a game of 1830. I am not sure if they played to a conclusion.
