Day #7 - Let's Have a Tournament!

Day #7 - Cuarenta Tournament
Games Played - Cuarenta

So today, We played a Cuarenta Tournament as well as had a guest speaker come talk to us.

The Cuarenta tourney went as well as you'd think it would. After losing to Sarah and Amy again, me and Abe were finally taught the actual rules to Cuarenta, in the losers bracket....better late than never I guess....but it's still pretty bad.....

Anywho, after that we had a guest speaker come on in and talk about, yup, you guessed it BOARD GAMES!!!! Crazy, eh?

Anywho, he showed off some pieces he's made for games, which is pretty cool, as well as told us about some of his favorite games. However, I don't really remember much of what he said, besides that He bashed Trading Card Games. Having an opinion is one thing, but don't bash on something somewhat unrelated when you are talking about boardgames, cuz all it's going to do is annoy the few fans in your audience. It also didn't help that his facts were off. "It costs about $2000 to build a magic deck!" Ha thats a joke...I built mine for less than $200, and it's fairly competetive. Ya sure, You can spend $2000+ on a magic deck, but that's either for a Legacy format (meaning buying cards that were printed 20 years ago), or Building a foiled out version of one of the mo.st expensive modern decks. Either way, it's a very extreme example, so it torqued me.

Anywho, enough of that for now. Turn in next week to read about more game playing and teaching. HORRAY!!!
