This is because I was babysitting my 6-week old grandson. I was cautiously optimistic about how this would go. The little guy gets fussy in the evenings. It turns out he was very good and the guys were very understanding of the whining and crying. Of course they are used to that already. (We whine and cry a lot at our games.)<\/p>\n<p>We played <em>History of the World<\/em>. Mike Byrd also joined us, so we had 5 players. Evil Mike wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t supposed to be there, but apparently he left one of his evil minions in charge and came over anyway.<\/p>\n<p>I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve lost count of the number of times we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve played this game. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a crowd favorite. Everyone else will have to add comments once this is posted to spell out any in-game fun. All I remember is the end.<\/p>\n<p>The End Mike was so far ahead of us on the victory point track, that we lost sight of his tail lights. Ben, who lagged behind during the first half of the game, had become a solid contender. So had Owen\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6but Owen always finishes strong. It came down to a contest between Evil Mike and I over who would be last. I thought I might take him because I still had armies on most of the continents. Unfortunately it was too little too late. When the scoring was over, I was 4th runner up.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Byrd won with an amazing 212 points. (We won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be inviting him back anytime soon.) Owen was next with 190. Ben and Evil Mike followed with 185 each. I had 180. (So since Evil Mike and Ben tied, was I 3rd runner up? Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hope so.)<\/p>\n<p>Chaos Steve<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.harrowedhalls.com\/wordpress\/?attachment_id=3497\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3497\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3497\" alt=\"2013-05-01 18.53.26\" src=\"http:\/\/www.harrowedhalls.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/2013-05-01-18.53.26.jpg\" width=\"3264\" height=\"2448\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.harrowedhalls.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/2013-05-01-18.53.26.jpg 3264w, http:\/\/www.harrowedhalls.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/2013-05-01-18.53.26-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.harrowedhalls.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/2013-05-01-18.53.26-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3264px) 100vw, 3264px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week we met at my house for game night.
