Room Inventory Still Empty

Dear Player One,

It is Friday. I have not received my furniture yet. I have had to reschedule its delivery several times. I'm not sure what the moving company's business model is, but most people are not home in the middle of the week from 10 am to 2 pm. It would be my general feeling that most people are at work, school, or otherwise occupied with activities that make it rather difficult to wait for the delivery man if he shows up at all. That all being said my delivery is set to arrive on Saturday and I really look forward to having a bed.

I’m pretty physically sore. I suspect this is from sleeping on the floor. I don’t remember this being quite so difficult when I was younger. It will be a while before I agree to any camping trips after this experience. It is difficult to be energetic and focused when no matter which way you sit something is aching.

I have started playing board games with my faculty during lunch. There are now a few small games I wish to purchase after I come home. I might be able to grab the smaller ones before Christmas and tot them back with me if things work out.

Hanabi is a short cooperative game which involves cards and efficiency of information. The game does not last very long but certainly requires players to observe the rules closely. It is easy to feel the need to cheat in the interest of succeeding.

The second game is Kill Doctor Lucky the Card Game. I have played Kill Doctor Lucky the board game a bit and find the card game much more interesting. It is a much quicker game that tends to be more inclusive (It is entirely possible to play the board game and never get a turn). It is a very strategic game but not exclusionary to people who have not played before.

The last of these games are Bang and the related game Samurai. I know we have played Bang together before so I’ll focus on the later of the two. Samurai is made by the same designers but was constructed to specifically address some of the game problems that Bang has. Players that are ‘out’ are still include and don’t have to wait quietly while the rest of the game finishes. The second addresses some of the power balancing. I will have to keep you up to date on this one as I get to play it more.

Now that it is Friday, it is board game night with the program. I think the game of choice for the evening is Avalon. While I have been told that it came be played in a reasonably short period of time, I have become skeptical of this given how many stories of long drawn out games I’ve been hearing. I realize this may be because the long games are most interesting but I’m not holding my breath on getting home at a reasonable hour.

I’ve still not been able to obtain waffles for my own waffling hour. I will have to make a more concerted effort on this front. The little stores around my apartment just do not carry waffles. Pop tarts and pancake batter, yes but waffles are a no.

I’m hoping it cools off soon. Walking to class is still very warm despite the fact I’m only moving around a little after 8 am and walking home after dinner. We’ll have to see how that goes. Is it getting cold for you yet?

Your,

Player Two
