6 gamers had a great time at The Hop Pole Inn this week. We split into 2 groups of 3: Colin, Jon and Neil played Ghost Stories at Bromsgrove Board Gamers for the first time; David, Peter M and I took our fireflies out for a second time. Unfortunately, our co-operative players presided over a narrow defeat vs the ghosts and even more unfortunately, David won Firefly again to bring his record to 2/2.
Our second piece of fair fortune (the first was Emma making truffles and fudge for us) was that we then joined up to a mega-group of 6 for our first 6p game of Cosmic Encounter at BBG. True, we had to curtail the action with a first-to-four game due to the late finish, but the game definitely improved with more players. The extra interactivity really increases the enjoyment of this excellent negotiation game. Peter M was given the victory despite slight confusion over the possible result of Neil playing the 'Guerrilla' card; should this only be played by the main player or can allies use it as well? Well, we didn't know!

My gamer of the week goes to Peter M just for his impressive last-ditch attack on Colin with our combined might in defence not enough to deny him!
