Sadly, Sauron won
Sep. 16th, 2002 10:23 amOn Sunday Martin, Frances and myself played Lord of the Rings (for those who know the game - from square 12 with the Friends and Foes expansion). We played and lost twice. We blamed Warlock for our defeat - 'cos he never returned Martin's generous request (to his mobile's answering machine) to come along and play the second interchangeable hobbit (ie. Merry).
I then played against Martin's all-female Yu-Gi-Oh! deck. I pretty much wiped the floor with him (he lost whilst I had 7,950 life points - ie. a mere 50 down). This was partly because he has an appalling start whilst I had a good start (eg. Rageki) but mainly because he really doesn't have enough good female cards to warrant playing a female deck yet. I reckon he needs at least another ten booster decks.
The twins meanwhile were being spoilt by their grandparents and were both wearing well-fed, smug expressions on my return. (Actually they were wearing sleepy expressions, 'cos they were in bed - but you get the idea). And Dom was happy 'cos he had managed to get more FastRam : Project Top Secret done.
Also - Frances bought me pizza and chocolate fudge cake so, all round, Sunday was a great day.
