Rowboats, Trains and Automobiles
After some scheduling difficulties, we ended up with 3 for game night. Again.
We started off the evening with some Mille Bornes. My stepson, Corry, filled in as Jay's partner, and Matt and I were a team. We started off strong, leading 2500-500 after the first hand without even getting a completed trip (we had all 4 safety cards). Jay and Corry took the next 2 hands though, leaving us tied at 4200 after 3. Momentum was not on the 'Us' side, though, and 'Them' won the 4th hand and the game.
After that, we played a game of Ticket to Ride. Matt and Jay seemed to be competing for the Midwest pretty heavily, so my Toronto-Miami route was pretty easy to complete. New York-Seattle was a bit more of a challenge, though, and I ended up having to go all the way up through Canada to connect. I then made the mistake of taking more route cards, hoping to get some easy points off of connections I had already made. As it turned out, every card required going through the middle of the country, where Jay had created a circuitous mess. I picked the lowest point value card since I would have to eat it anyway. On my last turn, I played a superfluous 6-car route that gave me the longest route ticket, which prevented Matt from overtaking me on points.
For the last game of the evening, we broke out Betrayal at House on the Hill. The haunt we played involved the house slowly sinking into the swamp. In order to escape, the heroes (Jay and I) had to retrieve a rowboat from the Attic, and move it to either the Tower or the Balcony. Unfortunately for the Traitor (Matt), Jay's character was only 2 rooms away from the Attic, and the Balcony was only 3 rooms away from that. It ended up being a very short haunt that Jay and I won easily.
