Good, Close Games

Good games are ones where you think the other guy is winning only to find in the end that either you won or you at least were a lot closer than you thought you'd be. Put Agricola and Puerto Rico in that category for starters.

Even at this time of the year, bees will keep coming to flowers that still have blossoms -- flowers that are pretty much not growing anymore, but must still be alive.

Eleven Seconds

[For 10/12]

It only takes 11 seconds to lose a football game. Just ask the Chicago Bears how it's done.

Extra Goods and/or Money

[For 10/11]

It pays to have extra good and/or money left over at the end of a game of Puerto Rico. It comes in handy when breaking a 3-way tie. Unfortunately, I wasn't the one who had the single extra coin needed for the win.

Quick 'Gric

[For 10/10]

It's possible to play a 2-player game of Agricola in less than an hour and a half.

Conquering San Juan

[For 10/9]

I think I understand how to play San Juan pretty well. Winning 3 games in a row has shown I'm fairly good...at least for now.

[For 10/8]

There are a lot of details to teach about when explaining how to edit and post a sermon online. It's about as difficult to teach as Agricola.
